UEFA has opened a formal disciplinary investigation into Matteo Guendouzi and Mason Greenwood, Fenerbahce announced on Thursday, following incidents during the Champions League playoff second leg against Olympique Lyonnais.
The Turkish Super Lig club confirmed that European football's governing body had initiated proceedings against the pair in connection with their conduct during the match. However, Fenerbahce did not specify the exact nature of the alleged offences that prompted UEFA's action.
The disciplinary case comes as Fenerbahce, managed by Jose Mourinho, competes in the early stages of the 2024-25 Champions League campaign. Both players have been key figures in the club's European ambitions following their recent arrivals.
UEFA typically investigates incidents including unsporting behaviour, offensive gestures, or violations of fair play regulations. The outcomes of such cases can range from fines to suspension from future matches, depending on the severity of the alleged breaches.
The disciplinary proceedings are expected to progress through UEFA's regulatory channels in the coming weeks, with further details likely to emerge as the investigation develops.
