Three Avellino ultras have been arrested after player Claudiu Micovschi was attacked and forced to strip following their defeat to Foggia in the Serie C play-offs.
Italian news agency Adnkronos report the incident took place on May 4 after Avellino’s 2-1 defeat.
The report suggests irate ultras attempted to get at the players immediately after the match but were blocked off by security and police.
Later that evening, they caught up with with Romanian player Micovschi as he was driving home alongside a team-mate and forced the 23-year-old to strip. The inference being that he was not worthy of wearing the club’s colours.
Three supporters, one 22-year-old and two 30-year-olds have been arrested. A woman was also believed to have been part of the group but has yet to be identified.
Sky Sport Italia report another player was also followed home by supporters following the loss.
A draw would have been enough to send Avellino to the play-off quarter-finals.
