May 16 (Reuters) - Sporting Lisbon’s Netherlands international Bas Dost was injured after around 50 hooded supporters, armed with sticks and belts, attacked players and staff at the club's training complex, Portuguese media reported on Tuesday.

Dost was cut on the head and assistant coaches Mario Monteiro and Raul Jose suffered unspecified injuries, the reports said.

The attackers also brandished weapons at coach Jorge Jesus and other players, who were caught by surprise in their changing room after training.

The attack was condemned by both Sporting and the Portuguese league.
