Two men have been charged with attempted murder after English football fans were attacked in Rome, police said today.

Atalanta will not appeal against the decision to close the curva nord at their Atleti Azzurri D’Italia stadium until the end of March.

Rome‘s Prefect of Police Achille Serra has claimed his men had no choice but to quell trouble between Roma and Manchester United supporters on Wednesday and claimed the officers on duty had come under threat from English supporters.
