MILAN – Italian soccer authorities have opened an investigation after another player was racially abused during a Serie A match this past weekend.

Sampdoria midfielder Ronaldo Vieira was subjected to racist chants by Roma fans during the teams’ 0-0 draw but the league’s sporting judge said Tuesday that he has asked for more information before deciding on a possible punishment.

Roma has already said it “will support the authorities in identifying and subsequently banning any individuals found guilty of racially abusing the midfielder.”
