Uefa has confirmed it will study video evidence before taking any action against Wayne Rooney for his challenge on Aalborg’s Kasper Risgard.
The incident occurred during Manchester United’s Champions League clash with the Danish side on Wednesday.
Risgard accused Rooney of ‘jumping at my chest’ and leaving ‘big marks’ on his body during the 2-2 draw at Old Trafford.
A Uefa spokesperson said: “We are aware of the incident and the disciplinary panel will study the footage and newspaper reports before deciding whether to take action.”
Any action could see Rooney suspended for games in the knockout stages of the competition.
