Kerr, the Australia captain, and Mewis, a USA international, shared photos of Mewis's baby bump but Chelsea soon issued a statement criticising "unacceptable and hateful" messages among the comments.

Bright said: "If I wasn't a footballer, I'd come off social media in a heartbeat, because there can be a lot of good things and it can also be overshadowed by so many negatives. There shouldn't be any room in this world for comments like that or behaviour like that. I totally disagree with it. It shouldn't be tolerated."
