Inter Milan to play two home league games behind closed doors after alleged racist abuse

The Italian side will also play a third match at the San Siro without opening the 'curva' section of the ground, popular with fans known as 'ultras'.

A supporter who was with a group of Inter Milan fans died after being knocked down by a van amid violence before the match in Milan.
