Fiorentina fans plan 5,000 whistles to jeer Salah

Fiorentina fans plan 5,000 whistles to jeer Mohamed Salah and a moped motorcade for the team bus against Roma.

The top of the table clash kicks off at 17.00 GMT, click here for a match preview.

Not only is this an encounter between the Serie A leaders and second-placed Roma, it is also the first time Salah has visited the Stadio Franchi since he refused to extend his loan spell from Chelsea.

Coach Paulo Sousa urged “indifference,” but the fans have organised a campaign via social media to bring whistles to the stadium and make an extraordinary noise every time Salah touches the ball.

Ultras also plan to fire up the team by accompanying the bus to the stadium this afternoon with a motorcade of mopeds flying flags.

There has long been a rivalry between these clubs anyway and they faced off several times last season in Serie A, the Europa League and Coppa Italia.
