A group of England football supporters have been injured in an alleged attack ahead of the World Cup qualifier against Ukraine in Kiev.

Ukrainians armed with knives are reported to have set upon the fans in a coffee shop last night in a busy area in the centre of the city, reports the Press Association.

Three England fans were taken to hospital following the fracas, one with a stab wound, one with a head injury, and a third with severe bruising.

It is understood all three of the victims have since been released from hospital and are awaiting flights home.

A Foreign Office spokesman said: "We are aware of incidents in Kiev involving British nationals. We are providing consular assistance."
