FIFA president, Gianni Infantino has called for players who cover their mouths in on-pitch confrontations to be sent off.
Infantino's words come after Real Madrid forward Vinícius Júnior said he was racially abused by Benfica's Gianluca Prestianni in their Champions League playoff first leg, with Prestianni covering his mouth during the alleged incident.
UEFA have since opened an investigation into the accusation, with Prestianni suspended for the second leg between the two sides and facing up to a 10-match ban should he be found guilty by European football's governing body.
"If a player covers his mouth and says something, and this has a racist consequence, then he has to be sent off, obviously," Infantino told Sky News.
