Chelsea risk being hit by a partial stadium closure at Stamford Bridge or a ban on fans travelling to a future away game.

But now the club looks set for a further fine after a minor pitch invasion and fans throwing objects onto the pitch in the 2-1 win at Malmo.

Uefa have confirmed the charges will be heard on March 28, although the offences are relatively minor.

They said: "Disciplinary proceedings have been opened following the UEFA Europa League Round of 32 match between Malmo FF and Chelsea FC (1-2), played on 14 February in Sweden.

"Charges against Chelsea FC: - Throwing of objects - Art. 16 (2) DR - Field invasions by supporters - Art. 16 (2) DR

"These cases will be dealt with by the UEFA Control, Ethics and Disciplinary Body on 28 March."

Incidents in Hungary and now Sweden come off the back of a Chelsea fan allegedly hurling racist abuse at Raheem Sterling during their home clash with Manchester City in December.

Ross Barkley and Oliver Giroud were on target for Chelsea in Sweden with the return leg in West London on Thursday.

Before that, Sarri's men are in Fa Cup action at home to Manchester United on Monday night.
