Raheem Sterling was reportedly deluged with racist abuse from Liverpool fans after his phone number appeared online.
The want-away England international failed to show for training with the Reds this morning claiming he was suffering from illness but it has emerged that the 20-year-old was also inundated with abuse following his request to be omitted from the club's pre-season tour.
The Mirror claim Sterling's mobile phone number was published on the internet which saw him subjected to a backlash from irate supporters in the form of abusive phone calls, WhatsApp and text messages.
The winger's relationship with the Anfield crowd has deteriorated in recent months after he rejected the club's offer of a £100,000 per week contract. He was heckled at Liverpool's new home kit launch in April and endured further abuse from fans during the 6-1 hammering to Stoke City a month later.
Meanwhile Liverpool have been forced to refute claims that Sterling's motivation behind wanting to quit Anfield this summer stemmed from his refusal to work with manager Brendan Rodgers.
