Chelsea fans attacked in Greece

Local authorities say two supporters injured



Thessaloniki: Greek authorities say two Chelsea fans were injured in an attack by suspected local fans ahead of a Europe League match at PAOK Thessaloniki.

Police say the two Englishmen were beaten by three assailants in central Thessaloniki shortly before dawn on Thursday. An ambulance crew provided first aid but the men declined to be taken to the hospital.

The three assailants escaped and police said the Chelsea fans did not wish to press charges.

PAOK hosts Chelsea later on Thursday.
