Two Roman Fans stabbed before Lazio clash

Violence is a common theme around the derby
between the capital clubs and latest reports
suggest two supporters have been hospitalised
Two Roma fans have been hospitalised after being
stabbed outside the Stadio Olimpico ahead of their
derby with Lazio , according to reports in Italy.
Fan violence surrounding the Rome derby is
unfortunately a common feature as the two heated
rivals go head-to-head on the pitch.
The two supporters were said to have been
attacked before Monday's meeting at the Stadio
Olimpico in what could prove to be a crucial match
in the race for second place in Serie A.
The victims are reported to be at the Gemelli
Hospital in Rome, though the pair are not believed
to be in critical condition.
So far, there has been no statements from the
police, hospitals or either club on the matter, with
respected news agency ANSA having confirmed
the details.
This Rome derby promised to be even more
intense than usual with a Giallorossi victory
securing second place and guaranteeing a place in
the group stage of next season's Champions
League.
A victory for Lazio will allow them to leapfrog their
bitter rivals from third place in Serie A.
