E-MAIL PRINT
UEFA has opened disciplinary proceedings against Italy forward Francesco Totti for gross unsporting conduct,
after he spat at Denmark midfield player Christian Poulsen during the sides'' goalless draw on Monday.
Decision tomorrow
Totti has until midnight tonight to submit a statement to UEFA''s control and disciplinary body,
which will notify the Italian Football Federation of its decision tomorrow morning. According to
UEFA''s disciplinary provisions, spitting could be construed as an act of assault,
which may earn Totti a three-match ban subject to exonerating factors.

notably a spitting offence against the Danish player Poulsen. The player can submit his statement until midnight tonight.
