Two Russian football fans 'arrested in Lille ahead of Euro 2016 clash'

Two Russian football fans are reportedly arrested in the city centre of Lille, with rumours suggesting that the pair attacked Wales supporters.

Two Russian football supporters have reportedly been arrested in the city centre of Lille ahead of tomorrow's Euro 2016 Group B clash against Slovakia.

The nation's fans were involved in numerous brawls in Marseille at the weekend, and groups of them were seen kicking England supporters after storming into their end of the Stade Velodrome on the final whistle of the 1-1 draw on Saturday.

UEFA announced on Tuesday that Russia will be kicked out of the tournament if their fans misbehave again in a stadium.

According to Sky Sports News, French riot police arrested two Russian fans in Lille this evening.

Rumours on social media have emerged claiming that the fans attacked Wales supporters that were gathering in a bar close to the local train station.

Supermarkets, shops and petrol stations are banned from selling alcohol to fans until 6am on Friday morning, but booze can be consumed in restaurants and bars.

Russia will face Slovakia in Lille tomorrow, the day before England and Wales go head to head in nearby Lens.
