Uefa will not follow Fifa's decision to send off players who cover their mouths during confrontation in its club competitions.The governing body has opted against implementing the rule in the Champions League, Europa League and Conference League.Rather than adopting the mandatory sending-off approach, Uefa have told match officials to evaluate each incident on its own merits.Referees retain the option to caution players with a yellow card where mouth-covering constitutes "an attempt to conceal communication as an act of unsporting behaviour".
