Blues boss Jose Mourinho and owner Roman Abramovich condemned the actions of a small number of fans who were filmed preventing a black man from entering the Paris metro on Tuesday before singing "we're racist, and that's the way we like it".
Arsenal manager Arsene Wenger has since added his voice to the growing outrage surrounding the incident, but Platini has stressed UEFA cannot take any direct action given the scene did not occur within the confines of a football event.
A total of five fans have so far been suspended from attending games at Stamford Bridge by Chelsea as they continue to investigate the incident, which occurred prior to the 1-1 Champions League draw with Paris Saint-Germain.
