Not sure why I’m bothering, but I’ll try one more time as you’ve failed to understand the point. Everything you’ve said here is irrelevant. I don’t need to demonstrate a case study which links racial abuse to mental illness. Your premise here is that many other black players didn’t have mental issues (which, by the way, is itself an unproven assumption unless you know them all) as a result of racism and therefore Sancho didn’t. This is a frankly ridiculous assertion because the whole point about mental health issues is that they manifest in many different ways and because of many different things. And importantly could impact each and every person differently because each person is different with their own background and history and experiences. Your view of pointing to others who weren’t impact to conclude why someone therefore can’t also be impacted is an uneducated viewpoint. And easily refuted in fact because there’s literally billions of examples where two people who react to the same circumstance differently.
And abuse wasn’t from terraces but instead on social media - but whatever that’s by the by.
There has not been any reports of any black players needing to be isolated from the team and train alone in another country due to racial abuse. If you can give examples to this happening then by all means I'm all ears
Stating the obvious that not every player reacts the same way does not mean Sancho developed mental illness as a result of social media racist abuse, considering none of his close allies in the media such as ferdinand have implied it caused any long lasting mental trauma and Sancho has never in any interview or social media post alluding to it causing him problems in relation to his ability in kicking a ball around on the pitch.
This is the list of players who were racially abused both on social media and in the stadium over the last few years and none of these players were required isolation and given specialised training programme away from the first team
Zaha called a monkey and the n word on his social media page
Sterling has been targeted for years with racial abuse and agenda driven campaign by the media to stereotype him
Troy Deeney reports abuse on social media.
Kalidou Koulibaly was notoriously racially abused in Italy
Romelu Lukaku racially mocked in Serie A during his spell at Inter

Saka racially abused during 2020 euros
Pogba - racially abused throughout his career
Rashford - Racially abused during the Euro's and periods last season on his social media
This is just from the last few years, we can go back further in time to the racial abuse Evra suffered, none of these players funnily enough let ignorant dumb ass racists get to them to the point where they couldn't cope any more and needed sheltering away from the first team. I think it's desperate cheap excuse for sancho not playing well to use the race issue as a reason why he's not pulling up trees and why ETH has decided to take him out of the team. It's insulting to Sancho and the manager who you are more or less saying co-signs the idea that if a player is racially abused they are not tough enough mentally to deal with playing with the team
