Uefa probe CSKA over Yaya Toure monkey chants
Russian club face sanction but deny abuse took place, writes Greg Leedham

Uefa charged CSKA Moscow with “racist behaviour of their fans” on Thursday after Manchester City’s Yaya Toure complained of monkey chants against him during the Champions League match in Moscow.


Uefa said: “Proceedings have been opened against CSKA Moscow for racist behaviour of their fans (article 14 of the Uefa disciplinary regulations) and for setting off of fireworks (article 16) at last night’s Uefa Champions League group stage match in Moscow against Manchester City.


“The case will be dealt with by the Uefa control and isciplinary body on October 30.”
