UPDATE 1-Soccer-Bochum's Osei-Tutu suffers alleged racial abuse in pre-season game

VfL Bochum defender Jordi Osei-Tutu was allegedly subjected to racial abuse in a pre-season friendly against Swiss club St Gallen. The 20-year-old, on-loan at the German second-tier club from Premier League Arsenal, posted a video of the incident on Instagram which shows him visibly distraught and talking to the referee before walking off the pitch.

"#SayNoToRacism! VfL Bochum vehemently condemns all forms of racism. Jordi, we stand behind you," Bochum said in a statement https://twitter.com/VfLBochum1848eV/status/1148872344598921217. St Gallen made a statement on Twitter.

"FC St Gallen makes clear that it strongly condemns all forms of racism and discrimination. Corresponding misconduct would be immediately sanctioned," the club said https://twitter.com/FCSG_1879/status/1148936477675589632. Arsenal said they were "working closely" with Bochum and Osei-Tutu.

"We are giving him our full support. Racism has no place in our game and we do not tolerate any form of discrimination," the club said in a statement. Osei-Tutu said he was "disappointed" that he was a victim.

"No one should ever be subject to any discrimination and it is really hard to understand how a fellow professional footballer could do this," he said. "Arsenal and Bochum have provided great support to me and I hope that if nothing else, we can show that racism has no place within football."
