Sophia, expecting her first child with her German Premier League star husband, revealed two messages she received on Instagram after Arsenal’s FA Cup exit to Manchester United earlier this month. ‘I’m going to come to your house and sl**ghter your baby I’m not joking just wait,’ read one of the alleged messages Sophia received. Another alleged message said: ‘I hope you have a miscarriage.’.

Havertz missed a penalty in the shootout with the Gunners eliminated in the third-round clash at the Emirates. Hertfordshire Constabulary confirmed on Tuesday that the arrested teenager has been bailed while inquiries continue. Arsenal manager Mikel Arteta called for action to be taken against people who post abuse on social media earlier this month.
‘It’s incredible, honestly,’ the Spaniard said. ‘We really have to do something about it, because accepting that and hiding this has terrible consequences. ‘It’s something we have to eradicate from the game because it’s so cynical and dependent to a result of an action. There is no other industry like this.’.
