The Serie A game between Udinese and AC Milan was briefly suspended on Saturday due to alleged racist chants directed towards Milan goalkeeper Mike Maignan.
Maignan, who alerted the referee before leaving the pitch after the half-hour mark, was followed by his team mates to the tunnel.

The incident took place shortly after Milan midfielder Ruben Loftus-Cheek had given the visitors the lead with a low first-time shot inside the post.
The game was restarted after around 10 minutes.
In a post on X, Milan said: ‘There is absolutely no place in our game for racism: we are appalled. We are with you, Mike.’
“Lega Serie A condemns any form of racism,” the official Serie A account posted on X.
