(Reuters) - AS Roma have been charged with racist behaviour by UEFA after a section of their supporters appeared to taunt their former defender Antonio Ruediger with monkey chants during their 3-3 Champions League draw at Chelsea in London on Wednesday.

The 24-year-old, capped 20 times by Germany, joined the Premier League side in 2017 after a two-year stint at Roma. He made a total of 72 appearances for the Serie A club.
