Uefa opened a case against the Serie A club last month, but BBC Sport understands a lack of evidence has led to proceedings being closed.

Rudiger came on as a 77th-minute substitute during the Champions League Group C tie which ended 3-3 at Stamford Bridge on 18 October.

The German international, 24, moved to Chelsea from Roma in the summer.

Before his move to England for an initial £29m, Rudiger said racism at football matches was a "serious issue" in Italy.
