Montenegro handed stadium ban by UEFA after racist abuse of England players

Montenegro will play their next home fixture behind closed doors following racist behaviour from sections of supporters during the Euro 2020 qualifier with England.

Danny Rose and Callum Hudson-Odoi were subjected to racist chanting throughout the Three Lions' 5-1 Group A victory in Podgorica on March 25 while after the match, team-mate Raheem Sterling called for "radical changes" such as points deductions in order to tackle racism effectively.

Gareth Southgate confirmed after the match that England would report the incident to UEFA and a charge followed from European football's governing body.
