While the photo was quickly deleted, damage had already been caused as a screenshot of the image was widely shared on social media.

The 22-year-old has now come out to claim that his weird social media activity was unintended as his phone was hacked.

"Guys, I'm sorry, but someone hacked my phone somehow and this photo was published... sorry!" Frattesi is said to have explained this to his followers.

Incredibly, the comment was also taken down in double-quick time according to football-italia.net.
