UEFA have confirmed they will be investigating the racist abuse aimed at Liverpool players during the Reds’ clash with FK Rabotnicki on Thursday.
Roy Hodgson’s side won the first leg of their Europa League qualifier 2-0 after David Ngog scored in either half in Macedonia.
However, pictures have emerged of Rabotnicki fans directing ‘monkey taunts’ towards Liverpool players Ngog and David Amoo.
UEFA are waiting to assess reports from their match delegate and the referee before taking action against the Macedonian club.
A spokesman for the governing body said: "We are aware of the matter but we are waiting for the reports from the delegate and the referee."
A disciplinary case could be opened against FK Rabotnicki once UEFA have assessed the reports.
The Europa League clash was not the first time racism has overshadowed a match in Macedonia. The Football Federation of Macedonia were fined £10,730 in 2003 after England players Sol Campbell, Ashley Cole and Emile Heskey were subjected to racist abuse and an English flag was burned during the Three Lions' match against Macedonia at the same Philip II stadium.
