NYON, Switzerland — Roma faces punishment from UEFA over racist chants by fans at a Champions League game at Chelsea this week. UEFA said on Friday it opened a disciplinary case over “racist behaviour (monkey chants)” during the 3-3 draw in London on Wednesday. The Germany international joined Chelsea from Roma in the off-season after two seasons in Italy. In cases of racist abuse, UEFA has ordered a section of a club’s stadium to be closed for a Champions League game. Repeated offences have seen games ordered to be played in an empty stadium.
