Terry Facing UEFA Investigation
Chelsea defender John Terry could be under UEFA investigation after allegedly spitting at Manchester United's Carlos Tevez in Wednesday's Champions League final.




The investigation centres around the allegation that Chelsea captain Terry spat at Tevez during the melee that eventually led to Didier Drogba's dismissal in Wednesday night's Champions League final. Terry has denied accusations that he acted inappropriately, but could nonetheless face a UEFA enquiry.

If found guilty, Terry could face a heavy fine and a suspension from the start of next year's Champions League campaign, in which Chelsea will be looking to gain retribution after their heart-breaking penalty shoot-out defeat.

A Uefa spokesman, speaking to Sky Sports, confirmed they had received the referee's report - but were still waiting for the delegate to supply his.

However, even if the incident is not included in either report, the ruling body is still expected to resort to examining television footage of the alleged incident before deciding whether to take any action. This means that if guilty, it is unlikely that the England international will escape punishment.

"The delegate's report should be in later today. We have received the referee's report but I cannot tell you at this stage what was mentioned in it," said the spokesman.

"At the present moment there is nothing further to add."

Terry has had a miserable week after missing a crucial spot-kick in the penalty shoot-out after slipping at the vital moment. Had he scored, Chelsea would have been crowned European Champions for the first time.
