Captain Alessandro Deiola and goalkeeper Elia Caprile were the first to realise what had happened, and rushed over to help him.
An ambulance is always ready on the sidelines in top flight matches, and was called in take the supporter to the local hospital.
It’s reported the fan has been diagnosed with a fractured clavicle, but there are no more serious complications.
If all goes well, he should be released on Sunday to continue his recovery at home.
The Unipol Domus where the Sardinians play their home matches is a temporary structure, and was put in place while plans to reconstruct the Stadio Sant’Elia were worked through.
That arena now lies in ruins and is overgrown with vegetation just yards away from the current stadium.
