Souness fears for stars' safety
|
Blackburn manager Graeme Souness has ruled out overseas trips after Nils-Eric Johansson was attacked in Spain.
The 24-year-old defender had to fight off youths in Marbella who tried to steal his mobile phone.
Souness said: "These kind of trips are finished now as far as I'm concerned. It's simply become too dangerous."
He barred his squad from leaving their complex after the incident and said: "When players are in a group like that they are too big a target."
Souness's fears were expressed as controversy rages over the La Manga affair which has left Leicester trio Paul Dickov, Keith Gillespie and Frank Sinclair in jail accused of sexual assault.
