Fiorentina captain Cristiano Biraghi struck by object thrown by West Ham fans

Fiorentina captain Cristiano Biraghi was left bleeding after being hit by an object thrown by West Ham supporters during the Europa Conference League final.

The defenseman was hit by multiple missiles after walking over to take a corner kick in front of the Hammers’ contingent and had to be treated by medical personnel.

An object, believed to be a vapor, struck Biraghi directly on his scalp and caused a small cut, causing blood to rush down the back of his head and neck.

The match was halted to allow officials to consult with both captains, and a number of West Ham players tried to calm down the unruly supporters.

A stadium announcement was made to warn fans about throwing projectiles.
