European football's governing body opened a case against Pedro Neto after he pushed over a ball boy during a Champions League fixture against Paris Saint-Germain. The incident occurred during the second half of the match at the Parc des Princes, according to Sky Sports. The winger appeared to shove the youngster while attempting to retrieve the ball for a throw-in.
Uefa confirmed it is investigating the 26-year-old for unsporting conduct. Chelsea lost the match 1-0 and currently sits in 12th place in the knockout stage table, per official Uefa records. The club has not yet released a formal statement regarding the player's actions.
Disciplinary officials will review match footage and the referee's report before deciding on a potential suspension or fine, according to The Guardian.
