'Sleep with the lights on' - Three Roma players targeted with death threats in vile effigy stunt

Having been beated by bitter rivals Lazio, dummies wearing club shirts have been found hanging in the streets of the Italian capital

A number of Roma players have been warned to "sleep with the lights on" following the club's defeat to Lazio in the Rome derby five days, while dummies have been seen hanging close to the Colosseum.

Luciano Spalletti's men, who had Antonio Rudiger sent off in the final stages of the Derby della Capitale last week, were on the receiving end of a 3-1 defeat to their bitter rivals.

Now, just days later, three dummies have found hanging in the streets of the Italian capital, donned in the jerseys of Daniele De Rossi, Radja Nainggolan and Mohamed Salah.
