Maccabi Tel Aviv, whose supporters were controversially excluded from a match at Aston Villa last month, have been given a suspended one-match away fan ban by UEFA for racist chanting.

European football's governing body confirmed its Control, Ethics and Disciplinary Body (CEDB) had fined the Israeli club 20,000 euros (£17,550) in relation to their fans' conduct at a Europa League tie away to German side Stuttgart on December 11.
