Tottenham supporters have been warned not to wear their club shirts in Moscow ahead of Tuesday's Champions League match against CSKA Moscow. Around 250 Spurs fans are expected in Russia, and both the UK Foreign Office and the club have advised them not to show their colours in the city before match, which kicks off at 9:45 p.m. local time. "Please note, for additional personal security it is suggested you do not show your football colours until you are inside the stadium," a Tottenham statement read. "Whilst flags and banners are welcome at the stadium, we recommend that they are not openly shown in the city centre." The Metropolitan Police told The Daily Telegraph "a small number" of its officers would be on duty in Moscow.

Russian club FC Rostov is likely to face a UEFA disciplinary case for fan racism after a banana was thrown onto the field during a Champions League game against PSV Eindhoven. The FARE Network, which monitors racist incidents for UEFA, said Thursday the banana was thrown about eight minutes into Wednesday's 2-2 draw. The banana remained on the field for at least 15 minutes. "We have reviewed the media from the match and have seen that it took place in the 8th minute after Rostov scored and took place in the opposite end to the action," FARE director Piara Powar said in an e-mailed statement. "A supplementary report to UEFA will follow from us this morning." Vyacheslav Koloskov, the Russian Football Union's honorary president, said the incident could tarnish Russia's image as it prepares to host the World Cup in 2018. Rostov's home city of Rostov-on-Don will host games during the tournament. "This banana could cost us heavily," he told the R-Sport agency. "It's not to be tolerated at any time, especially now. Rostov may be forced to play a game behind closed doors." Non-white players, including former Brazil defender Roberto Carlos, have been taunted with bananas during Russian league games in recent years. Champions League games have also seen racist incidents involving Russian fans, with current league champion CSKA Moscow repeatedly punished by UEFA for offenses including monkey chants aimed at opposition players.
