Abuse: Mikel was sent vile messages on Twitter
On Friday Barclays Premier League managers united in urging UEFA to take a hardline stance on racism.
Arsenal boss Arsene Wenger said: 'How we improve things is by being absolutely resilient to fight against stupidity.
'It looks like it will be an endless fight but we have to fight against it, against stupid reactions from the crowd and I'm certain we have to be tougher at every level.'
Aston Villa manager Paul Lambert said: 'It's not right. There's no place for it in any walk of life, let alone football.
'Hopefully UEFA can do something about it. You'll still get a minority of idiots out there who do it, but there's no place for it.'
