Lyon manager Fabio Grosso has finally broken his silence on the injuries he suffered during an attack on the team bus en route to Marseille.
The two football clubs are well-known rivals in French football, and Lyon's team bus came under a barrage of stones and bricks as it headed to the Velodrome stadium.
Grosso suffered serious harm and a nasty injury to the eye during the attack as shards of glass cut his face.
The Italian World Cup winner was given immediate medical treatment upon arrival and has since appeared with a nasty scar over his eye complete with 13 stitches.
He has now spoken out about the incident, saying he 'cannot understand' the 'unacceptable' lack of sacntions for those involved.
Speaking in a press conference on Friday Grosso said: 'I am worried because the lack of a sanction is unacceptable to me… I like incredible atmospheres like those in Marseille, I'm not afraid of that, but the absence of a sanction for what happened I can't understand.
'I will remain firm on this, it is very serious.'
During the incident Lyon assistant coach Raffaele Longo was also injured, as were five police officers and buses carrying Lyon fans were attacked.
The match was abandoned after the terrible violence, and the fallout continues as Lille said on Friday that their fans had been banned from travelling to Marseille.
Nine arrests were reportedly made however, it's unlikely the attack will lead to disciplinary sanctions against nine-time French champions Marseille.
Due to the attack taking place outside the Velodrome stadium, the responsibility for sanctions lies with public authorities and not with the club.
The case has since been taken over by a French league committee in charge of scheduling competitions, and not by the discipline commission.
Speaking on his injuries suffered Grosso insisted: 'It doesn't seem like it but I have strong shoulders, I don't show it but I'm still touched.
'In the morning, when I get up, I go to brush my teeth and I see my face, every day.'
