MILAN (AP) — The Italian league’s judge requested more information on Tuesday before issuing a ruling over racist abuse directed at Juventus midfielder Weston McKennie shortly after a game against Parma.
Juventus posted a statement on social media saying that the United States international, who is Black, was the target of “discriminatory racist remarks by individuals in the away section” while he was warming down with teammates on the field after the Serie A game.
Judge Gerardo Mastandrea said that, after reading a report from the Italian soccer federation prosecutor, he needs the prosecutor’s office to send more details and identify who was responsible.
The judge said Parma should collaborate during the identification process.
Parma risks having its fans banned from away matches, or a partial stadium closure for home games.
McKennie went on as a late substitute during Sunday's match in Turin, which Juventus won 2-0.
Parma released a statement on Monday.
“Parma Calcio, in reference to the events that occurred last night after the match at the Allianz Stadium in Turin, firmly condemns all forms of racism and discrimination, both on and off the pitch,” it said.
Juventus midfielder Andrea Cambiaso was banned for two matches for hitting an opponent in the face during the same game, the Serie A judge ruled.
Cambiaso will miss matches against Genoa and Inter Milan.
Cambiaso earned a needless red card in the final minutes after going up together with Mathias Lovik for a high ball, and then reacting by shoving the Parma player before hitting him in the face.

SALT LAKE CITY (AP) — John Marino scored at 4:03 of the third period to break a tie and give the Utah Mammoth a 2-1 victory over the Dallas Stars on Thursday night.
Marino also assisted on Nick Schmaltz's 17th goal of the season and Karel Vejmelka made 26 stops as the Mammoth won for the fifth time in six games.
Mikko Rantanen scored and Jake Oettinger had 25 saves for Dallas, which has lost nine of its last 11 games.
Schmaltz broke a scoreless deadlock with 7 seconds left in the second period, tipping in a feed from Marino. It was the fourth latest goal in any regulation period in Utah's short franchise history.
The Mammoth nearly made it 2-0 just 38 seconds into the third, but Lawson Crouse had his goal wiped off the board for high-sticking.
Rantanen leveled the score with a power-play goal at the 2:04 of the third.
Marino answered two minutes later, snapping the puck home from long distance to put the Mammoth up 2-1 with his second winning goal of the season.
Utah improved to 16-1-1 this season when leading after two periods.
Stars: host Tampa Bay on Sunday.
Mammoth: host Seattle on Saturday.
