SOFIA (Reuters) - England players who react to racist abuse by walking off the pitch should face punishment if they breach a UEFA protocol, Bulgarian soccer chief Borislav Mihaylov said ahead of next week's Euro 2020 qualifier.

England striker Tammy Abraham indicated this week that the players could act as a group and leave the pitch if subjected to abuse in qualifiers against the Czech Republic on Friday and Bulgaria in Sofia on Monday.
