After an hour in the crisis unit, the verdict was in: the match between Olympique de Marseille (OM) and Olympique Lyonnais (OL), scheduled for Sunday October 29, for the 10th day of Ligue 1 will not take place. It will be postponed.
The OL bus 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. His deputy was also affected.
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, but controlled atmosphere. Six hundred Lyonnais were authorized to travel to Marseille.
