Chelsea head coach Liam Rosenior said anyone in football who is found guilty of racism “should not be in the game.”
On Tuesday, Real Madrid forward Vinicius Junior briefly refused to return to the field after alleging he was racially abused by Benfica's Gianluca Prestianni during a Champions League game in Lisbon.
The Portuguese side have since defended their player, claiming there is a "defamation campaign" against him, while manager Jose Mourinho accused Vinicius of provoking the incident with his celebration of a goal.
Prestianni, who has denied directing racial abuse at the Brazilian, could face a minimum 10-match ban from European competition if found guilty.
