Dejan Lovren has branded death threats made against his family as “disgusting”.
The defender has publicly revealed the sickening abuse that he received on social media in the wake of Liverpool’s defeat by Tottenham earlier this month.
The Liverpool and Croatia defender - in the news of late after questionable performances - shared the threat on his Instagram story.
Lovren posted a direct message he had received from a user which read “I’m gonna murder ur family u Croatian prick”.
The 28-year-old captioned it with “horrible what kind of people we have” before adding in a second image: “I don’t mind when people talk shit about me, it says more about them!
“But I cannot ignore when my family is threatened. I just can’t and won’t accept that. Disgusting.”
Liverpool manager Jürgen Klopp last week defended his player after substituting him just 31 minutes into a 4-1 loss at Tottenham.
