Lega Serie A president Gaetano Micciche has dismissed claims AS Roma could be thrown out of Europe.

A Liverpool fan is in hospital fighting for his life after an alleged assault by two Roma fans on Tuesday night.

Roma will face sanction from UEFA for the incident and some have called for the club to be banned from Europe.

“I can rule that out," Gaetano Miccichè told reporters as he attended an RCS meeting.

“I hope that everything can come together, even if what happened was extremely serious."
