The European Championship suffered its first racism controversy today after a number of black players in the Holland squad were racially abused during a training run at Stadion Miejski in Poland.
The Guardian reported that Nigel de Jong and Gregory van der Wiel were targeted with monkey noises and loud jeers from sections of the 25,000 spectators who turned out to watch the Dutch team train.
The English side is set to train at the same venue tomorrow.
Dutch captain Mark van Bommel responded to the jeers by moving the sides training drills to the other side of the ground.
"It is a real disgrace especially after getting back from Auschwitz [the Dutch squad had visited the concentration camp on Wednesday] that you are confronted with this," Van Bommel said.
