UEFA have fined Roma €10,000 but let off winger Adem Ljajic after a series of incidents during their Europa League match against Feyenoord last month.

Ljajic will not miss any of Europa League action, only receiving a warning from UEFA for provoking fans.

Roma did not escape punishment for delaying the kick-off in Rotterdam.

UEFA will meet on March 19 to determine the extent of discipline, if any, against Feyenoord, whose fans were charged with racist behaviour and throwing objects.

The second leg of this last-32 Europa League match was suspended twice. A fan threw an inflatable banana in the direction of Roma winger Gervinho, and later objects were thrown at the referee.

Roma went on to win 3-2 on aggregate. They will face Fiorentina in the last 16, starting on March 12.
