15 stitches and lifelong trauma. In an interview with the Italian media " La Repubblica", former Olympique Lyonnais coach Fabio Grosso looks back on the attack on the Lyon bus on Sunday, October 29, 2023, before the OM-OL match, which was ultimately postponed.
He saw himself dyingViolently hit near the eye by a glass bottle, Fabio Grosso, 47, describes this dramatic situation with horror, on the sidelines of a Ligue 1 football match.
« The Ultras of Marseille had thrown a bottle at our bus just as I turned to lower the curtain. And it may have saved my life because otherwise the bottle would have hit me in the temple. It hit me under my left eye and I got away with 15 stitches.“, He explains.
"I had 3 more pieces of glass removed."
"On this occasion, I understood what it means to risk "dying instantly": it's the story of an instant, of a situation that takes one turn rather than another"
« Yesterday, I had three more pieces of glass removed that the French doctors had forgotten! If I lower my eyelid, you can see the scar, it's not much. But At least I'm here to talk about it!«
A wound that will never really heal for the coach of Sassuolo, current leader of Serie B.
