The UEFA ban from selling tickets to away fans for one game for “racist and/or discriminatory behaviour” is suspended for a probationary period of one year and does not impact the trip to face Atletico Madrid in the first leg of their Champions League last-16 tie next week.

In a statement, Spurs condemned the “utterly abhorrent conduct of a small number of individuals” and said that they had cooperated fully with UEFA's investigation, as well as with German police and the Met Police.

Spurs, who have also been fined €2,250 (£1,967) by the UEFA Control, Ethics and Disciplinary Body (CEDB) for the throwing of objects in their 2-0 league phase victory at Deutsche Bank Park on January 28, confirmed that they had handed down indefinite bans to the three supporters found to have made Nazi salutes towards Frankfurt fans.

Tottenham’s full statement read: “The Club has been informed of sanctions handed down to us by UEFA following the utterly abhorrent conduct of a small number of individuals at our recent Champions League away match in Frankfurt.

“The Club has cooperated fully with UEFA's investigation, as well as with German police on the night and, subsequently, the Met Police.

“We can confirm that all three individuals found to be making Nazi salutes towards Eintracht Frankfurt fans have been identified and have received indefinite bans under the Club’s Sanctions and Banning Policy.

“The Club stands firmly against all forms of discrimination and has therefore taken the strongest possible action. The disgusting behaviour of a minority of so-called fans on the night is in no way reflective of the values of our Club and its supporters.”
