Benfica’s Gianluca Prestianni took part in a training session at the Bernabeu despite being banned from his side’s match against Real Madrid on Wednesday while Uefa investigates reports that the 20-year-old racially abused Vinicius Jr in last week’s first leg.
Prestianni is provisionally suspended from the knockout stage play-off second leg following an announcement from Uefa on Monday, but was involved in Benfica’s training session in Real Madrid’s stadium on the eve of the match. Prestianni has denied using racist language towards Vinicius, claiming the Brazilian misheard him.
