'Toilet roll, lighter, pen and water bottle thrown at England players'


Joe Hart has said he was hit by a toilet roll and that other objects including a lighter, marker pen and bottle of water were thrown at England players by Montenegro fans during Tuesday's draw in Podgorica.

Fifa is waiting for official reports before deciding if Montenegro has a case to answer.

The Football Association will be sent documentation from its own personnel at the match before deciding if it wishes to make a complaint.

Wayne Rooney, Steven Gerrard were also targeted, alongside Joe Hart, who said of being hit by a toilet roll: "It pinged off my head and wrapped round my shoulder - but it's not going to kill you, is it? It's not ideal, but that's the beauty of football."

Regarding what else was flung at the players, Hart said: "You get all sorts of things thrown at you. It was a lighter. There was a marker pen. All sorts. Anything they have to hand. A big bottle of Evian."
