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.
