Cagliari fan falls from stand, taken to hospital

Cagliari beat Frosinone 1-0 in a Serie A match. A few minutes after the final whistle, a fan fell from the stands as the players turned toward the stands to thank supporters for their backing.

According to Sky Sport Italia, captain Alessandro Deiola and goalkeeper Elia Caprile were the first to notice the incident. Both ran over to the fan who had fallen and helped him.

An ambulance, which was on standby at the touchline, took the fan to a local hospital. The fan was diagnosed with a fractured collarbone, but no more serious complication was found. If his condition continues to improve, he is expected to be discharged on Sunday and continue recovering at home.

Unipol Domus, where Cagliari play their home matches, is a temporary structure. It was built while plans for the rebuilding of the Stadio Sant'Elia were underway. The old Sant'Elia, meanwhile, now lies in ruins, overgrown with vegetation right next to the current stadium.
