The lawyer of Lazio striker Ciro Immobile has released a statement after his car crash.

Immobile was driving in Rome last night when a tram ran a red light and his SUV smashed into it, totalling the car.

The tram driver has denied running the red light.

His lawyer stated: "The thoughts of my client Ciro Immobile, who is shaken over what happened today, go to his two daughters and to the driver of the tram, who he hopes will have a quick recovery.

“Relieved that nobody suffered serious injuries, aware in this moment that he behaved correctly, he has full trust in the authorities who are completing their investigation."
