Ligue 1: French club Nice says one fan injured after a bus was hit with stones following game in Lyon

The Hindu  

French football club Nice says one of its fans was injured when a bus carrying supporters was pelted with stones after a league game at Lyon on Friday night. Earlier this season, Lyon’s team bus was pelted with objects as it approached bitter rival Marseille’s stadium and former Lyon coach Fabio Grosso sustained a serious head injury. After a Nice fan was stabbed and killed in Nantes before a match in early December, France’s sports minister Amélie Oudéa-Castéra urged a clampdown on away fans at games in a bid to stem the violence. On Friday, the Interior Ministry banned PSG’s fans from going to Nantes for a league game later Saturday due to a high risk of clashes between rival groups, who fought each other last season and in a pre-arranged fight in Nantes in 2020 on the eve of a match.
