FIFA president Gianni Infantino has suggested players who cover their mouths while talking to opponents could be sent off, in light of racism allegations against Benfica’s Gianluca Prestianni.
Argentina’s Prestianni was accused of racially abusing Real Madrid forward Vinicius Junior during a Champions League game last month, while covering his mouth with his shirt.
The issue was brought up at Saturday’s meeting of the International Football Association Board (IFAB).
