Police have launched an investigation after Queens Park Rangers defender Anton Ferdinand was sent a threatening letter in the post.
Metropolitan Police officers were called after the document, which reportedly contained a death threat, arrived at the club's ground in West London last week.
It is understood that the contents of the letter were so graphic that QPR officials did not even show it to the 26-year-old, who is at the centre of a race row involving England captain John Terry.
Police investigating the death threat have told Anton to fit a panic alarm at his home while some family members are believed to have already taken the advice and installed the alarms.
A spokesman for Scotland Yard said: "I can confirm that officers are investigating an allegation of malicious communication."
The letter was delivered by hand to the Premier League team's ground Loftus Road last Friday, according to reports.
Ferdinand was the alleged victim of a racist comment made by Terry during QPR's match with Chelsea at Loftus Road last month.
The 30-year-old Chelsea skipper denies the claims, which are being investigated by the Met and the Football Association.
