The Olympique Lyonnais bus, traveling to Marseille for the 10th day of Ligue 1 on Sunday October 29, was the target of projectiles upon its arrival at the Stade-Vélodrome. The right front window of the vehicle was completely broken and another was partially damaged.
The Rhone coach, Fabio Grosso, was injured. In images from broadcaster Prime Video, the Italian was seen with a bloody face, then with a bandage on his head as he left the infirmary located in the corridors of the stadium. According to a source close to the club, he was the victim of numerous dizziness and suffered from multiple traumas.
Contacted by Agence France-Presse, the Professional Football League (LFP), which manages the French championship (LFP), did not respond to requests regarding the holding of the match, the kick-off of which must be given at 8:45 p.m. A crisis unit was set up.
Furthermore, a bus of Rhone supporters was stoned and the windows were impacted, a police source reported to AFP, specifying that a meeting was underway with the police chief. Several dozen OL fans entered the visitors’ park around 8:15 p.m., in a tense atmosphere, but under control. Six hundred Lyonnais were authorized to travel to Marseille.
