Bakayoko was reportedly subject to racist abuse throughout the evening, both before the match had started and when he was substituted on the pitch in the 61st minute.
Unfortunately, this is not the first time that the French midfielder has been subject to racist abuse by Lazio fans, with the previous occasion taking place in April 2019.
The investigation will begin shortly and developments are expected in the coming days and weeks.
