Two unexploded bombs were found at the training ground of Italian club, AS Roma on Saturday.
This caused an unexpected interruption at Trigoria (training) culminating in the army removing 20 unexploded WWII bombs.
Il Messaggero newspaper reported that the bombs were discovered during construction work to build new training pitches.
The devices were buried near Piazzale Dino Viola, in the heart of the Roma training ground.
All activity was suspended and experts were called in, who discovered there were not three, but around 20 unexploded bombs in the area.
Roma released an image of the army experts attending the scene, and they were able to remove the devices in just over an hour.
Paulo Fonseca and his squad did not interrupt their training session, as they were in a different area of the camp.
