Cagliari President Massimo Cellino has reacted furiously to suggestions that the Rossoblu should be punished after a homemade bomb hit a player.

A missile struck Cagliari's Antonino D'Agostino as he was saluting the fans following a 1-1 Derby delle Isole draw with Catania.

The object appeared to have been thrown by a home fan and it is possible that Cagliari may now be forced to play behind closed doors.

'The fault doesn't lie with Cagliari, but with everyone,' Cellino bellowed.

'We have spent huge amounts on turnstiles, video cameras and numbered and assigned seats. We have done everything that has been asked and then some imbecile throws a missile. What am I supposed to do, shut the stadium? That would achieve nothing. If the fans need to be punished, we should be the ones to do it.'

D'Agostino suffered concussion and shock, but seems to have avoided any serious injury.

Cagliari are currently nervously awaiting the result of an investigation by the Disciplinary Commission.

Georgian defender Kakha Kaladze has not been included in the AC Milan squad for the UEFA Champions League trip to Celtic FC on Wednesday while Brazilian goalkeeper Dida travels despite remaining doubtful for the holders with a shoulder injury.

Kaladze limped off with a suspected thigh strain after 53 minutes of the 1-1 home draw against Calcio Catania on Sunday.

The 29-year-old will undergo tests during the week to assess the extent of the injury.

Dida, meanwhile, is included in the squad despite missing the last two Serie A games with a shoulder injury.

On Saturday, Milan coach Carlo Ancelotti said it would have take another week for the injury to heal but the Brazilian goalkeeper will try to make an early recovery and play against the Scottish champions.
