Lampard's retort to Leeds fans over chant
Frank Lampard has described the chant by Leeds supporters about him as "good fun", and hit back with a jibe about the club's long spell away from the Premier League.
Uefa investigators want Manchester City to be banned from the Champions League for a season if they are found guilty of breaking financial rules.
However, according to one well-placed source, a final decision is yet to be made by chief investigator Yves Leterme.
The former Belgian prime minister, chairman of the investigatory panel of Uefa's independent financial control board, is set to make a recommendation this week.
With no vote in such cases, the final say lies with him but several of his colleagues are understood to have firmly expressed the view at a recent meeting that a season-long ban would be a suitable punishment if City are found guilty
Leterme and his team have been looking at evidence first uncovered in a series of leaks published by the German newspaper Der Spiegel last year.
The reports alleged that Manchester City had broken Financial Fair Play regulations by inflating the value of a multimillion-pound sponsorship deal. City were fined ?49m in 2014 for a previous breach of regulations.
Uefa's adjudicatory chamber would have to decide whether it agreed with any recommendation from Leterme - expected in the next 48 hours - although it is unlikely to apply to next season's competition because City could appeal, and even take their case to the Court of Arbitration for Sport.
But it would still be a major blow for a club desperate to win Europe's most prestigious club competition for the first time, and who could also soon face a transfer ban, with the FA, Premier League and Fifa also currently investigating City over their signing of youth players.

Pep Guardiola retains EPL Manager of the Season. Back-2-back.
Manchester United are relying on a favour from rivals Manchester City to avoid a summer of chaos.
Ole Gunnar Solskjaer's side finished sixth in the Premier League and face a Europa League qualifier on July 25 unless City beat Watford in the FA Cup final on Saturday.
