(Reuters) -Fiorentina midfielder Nicolo Zaniolo has denied being involved in a physical altercation with AS Roma's youth team players following Fiorentina's 2-1 win over Roma in the Primavera 1 Under-20 playoff semi-finals on Monday.

Roma released a statement on Monday night saying that Zaniolo was involved in an incident.

"According to reports, the player is said to have entered the dressing room of the Primavera team after the match and displayed provocative behaviour towards some of the youth players," Roma said.
