ZURICH (Reuters) - FIFA's ethics committee has said there are no formal proceedings against Gianni Infantino, the recently-elected president of football's global body, after a German newspaper reported that he was facing a provisional ban for unethical conduct.

However, the committee would not confirm or deny whether preliminary investigations, which would precede a formal investigation, had taken place.
