Italian coach Fabio Grosso has been left bleeding with cuts to his face after Olympique Marseille fans threw rocks at the Lyon team bus, breaking the windows.
The 2006 World Cup winner was spotted leaving the vehicle with his head and one eye bandaged up, having been injured by the hail of objects during this heinous attack.
It was going to be an intriguing Italian Derby in Ligue 1, between Grosso and his fellow 2006 World Cup winner Gennaro Gattuso, who is on the bench of Olympique Marseille.
Lyon have requested that the game be called off and that decision was confirmed this evening.
