Lyon's bus was attacked by fans on the way to the match against Marseille in Ligue 1.

Fans threw stones, breaking the bus's window and hitting the head coach, Fabio Grosso, in the head. He started bleeding, and upon arrival at the Marseille stadium, he had his head bandaged. The coach was urgently taken to the hospital, where a special cast was applied.

The severity of the injuries is currently unknown. An assistant coach and several players were also injured due to the shattered glass.

As a result of this incident, the match has been postponed indefinitely.

«We have taken into account the opinions of various stakeholders and evaluated the injuries sustained by different members of Lyon. We have also listened to the club's desire for the match not to take place. Furthermore, we have adhered to the protocol established by the LFP, which states that when a player sustains an injury, whether physical or psychological, the match should not proceed. Therefore, the decision has been made not to start the game», - as stated in the official statement.

It's worth noting that Lyon is currently at the bottom of the Ligue 1 standings. The team has yet to secure a victory this season, only managing draws in three matches.
