Italian football is reeling after AC Milan striker Mario Balotelli was racially abused by local fans during national team training at Coverciano.
FIGC President Giancarlo Abete has branded the behaviour as 'unacceptable'.
"It's unacceptable behaviour on the part of certain people," Abate told reporters. "They shouldn't have been there. But we have to put it into context.
"I have read the news from the agency but I don't have any other information. The important thing is that there were only a few people involved."
