UEFA launch disciplinary proceedings against Chelsea over racist chants against Vidi

Uefa have officially opened a case against the Blues fans and they are now banned from an away game in Europe. Anti-semitic chants by Chelsea fans during the Europa League clash at Hungarian side Vidi were reported by Uefa’s match-day delegate. Stamford Bridge officials condemned the fans they said had “shamed the club” in the immediate aftermath of the incident. But now Chelsea face a fine and potential away-day stadium ban following Uefa’s decision. The case will be heard in Nyon on February 28, after Chelsea have played their lasr 32 clash with Swedish side Malmo.
