UEFA 'very concerned' about failure to follow guidelines to stop racist chanting

UEFA says it is "very concerned" by what it sees as the failure to follow its guidelines for dealing with racist chanting after Napoli's Kalidou Koulibaly was the target of abuse during a match at Inter Milan.

In a joint statement with FIFPro, the organisation which represents professional footballers worldwide, UEFA questioned the apparent "failure to respect the widely-recognised three-step anti-racism protocol" and also urged the Italian football authorities to do all they can to clamp down on racist abuse in stadiums.
