The Blues captain, who missed the penalty that could have won the trophy, has denied any wrongdoing and action over an alleged spitting incident appears to rest heavily on whether or not reference to it was included in reports from the referee and the UEFA delegate.
A UEFA spokesman confirmed they had received the referee's report but were still waiting for the delegate to supply his.
If the incident is not included in either report, then UEFA may resort to examining television footage of the alleged incident before deciding on what action, if any, to take.
"The delegate's report should be in later today (Friday). We have received the referee's report but I cannot tell you what was mentioned in it," said the spokesman.
"At the moment there is nothing further to add."
Meanwhile, speculation continues to surround the future of coach Avram Grant. The 52-year-old Israeli is expected to move back upstairs at Stamford Bridge after guiding the club to its first Champions League final and pushing Manchester United all the way in the Barclays Premier title race.
Grant's future is likely to be finalised in the next few days with Gus Hiddink and Frank Rijkaard just two of the names being heavily linked as possible replacements.
Chelsea are already working on rebuilding their squad - which began with the £16.2million signing of Porto right-back Jose Bosingwa - but chief executive Peter Kenyon insists there will not be major surgery and the intention is to keep the core of the side English and build around them.
"What this season has proved is that we have got a great squad in depth and that the club is capable of competing on all fronts," said Kenyon.
