Two Liverpool fans were being treated for stab wounds today after violence before their team's Europa League tie in Naples.

Merseyside police said six Liverpool fans in total were attacked in the Italian city ahead of the team's game tonight against Napoli FC.

Naples police said the victims included a family of four — a mother, father and sons. The fans taken to hospital are 27 and 53. Their injuries are not thought to be life threatening. Three local men were arrested.

The attack happened shortly after 4am when the family, from Bedfordshire, were followed from a bar in the Piazza Garibaldi in the city centre. A group of between 20 and 30 men assaulted them as they walked back to their hotel. There were at least three attacks last night and police said all were linked to Napoli's hardcore Ultra fans.

Weapons including a baseball bat, three four-foot aluminium bars and a five-foot long piece of wood were recovered from the home of one of the arrested men. All three of the men being held have criminal records and one has been convicted of football-related violence and is banned from Napoli's Stadio San Paolo.
