Sanction for the closure of the stands for Lazio for the racist insults to Umtiti

MADRID, 6 Ene. (EUROPA PRESS) –

Lazio will have the Curva Nord of the Olympic Stadium closed in the duel this Sunday against Empoli as a sanction known this Thursday for the racist insults that the Roman fans directed in the last clash against Lecce at Samuel Umtiti and Lameck Banda.

Umtiti, who is on loan from FC Barcelona to Lecce, and Banda were subjected to racist insults by the fans of the Roman team, who was a visitor, which caused the referee to stop the match. The center-back left the field crying after the final whistle in what was a new incident carried out by one of the most radical supporters in the country.

Serie A, in a meeting with its disciplinary judge, decided to sanction the partial closure of the stands where the ultras of Lazio are located at the Olímpico, ahead of this Sunday’s match of matchday 17 of the Italian league. In addition, the Inter-Naples on Wednesday is also under investigation for racist insults about the Belgian striker Lukaku.
