Gennaro Gattuso faces the prospect of disciplinary action for his headbutt on Tottenham Hotspur assistant coach Joe Jordan after UEFA said on Wednesday it was opening a case against the AC Milan captain.
The midfielder later apologised for what he called "inexcusable" behaviour and Tottenham manager Harry Redknapp branded the Italian firebrand "crazy".
UEFA said in a statement its Control and Disciplinary Body would meet on Monday, Feb. 21 to discuss the case following "incidents" in the game, which flared up on several occasions.
The second leg will be played in London on March 9 and Gattuso has already been suspended for the match after being booked during Tuesday's game.
