Diego Maradona has apologised for kicking a fan in the hand ahead of Al Wasl's clash with Emirates Club. The former Argentina legend was posing in front of a banner from his grandson, but could not get a photo with the full message as a supporter ruined the shot. As the member of the home faithful tugged at the canvas, the former World Cup winner lashed out, kicking the fan's hand; however he has issued an apology. "As a surprise from my daughters in Argentina and Manchester, they put a sign up for me in the ground that read: 'Grandfather, I'm with you. I love you. Benja,'" he told reporters after the game. "I'd like to apologise to one of the fans. I was trying to unfurl and see the whole banner and, by mistake, I perhaps injured him," he concluded. As yet there has been no news of any potential sanctions or disciplinary procedures following the incident.
