UEFA is investigating Turkish club Fenerbahce players Mason Greenwood and Matteo Guendouzi.
UEFA charged them with using offensive gestures towards the opposing fans during the match against Lyon.
Fenerbahce successfully overcame Lyon in the Champions League qualifying round, winning 3-2 on aggregate, before clashes broke out on the pitch following the second leg in France, extending into the tunnel leading to the dressing rooms.
Guendouzi directed offensive gestures using his hand and sensitive parts of his body towards the Lyon fans, saying "Come on Marseille."
The rivalry between Lyon and Marseille is considered one of the biggest historical feuds in football.
Fenerbahce club revealed that it has submitted the necessary defense to UEFA to protect the interests of its players.
The Turkish club stated that it will provide all necessary information and documents and follow up on the developments of the case.
In the Champions League league phase, Fenerbahce will face the following matches: Liverpool (home) - Atletico Madrid (away) - Roma (home) - Aston Villa (away) - Villarreal (home) - Shakhtar (away) - Slavia Prague (home) - LASK (away).
