Two Chelsea fans have been injured in an attack by suspected local fans ahead of a Europa League match at PAOK Thessaloniki, Greek authorities said. Police said two English men were beaten by three assailants in central Thessaloniki shortly before dawn.
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.
Chelsea look to continue their 100% start to the season as they visit PAOK to open their Europa League campaign. After winning five out of five games in the Premier League, Chelsea focus their attention towards the Europa League.
The Blues won the Europa League the last time they were part of it. Eden Hazard is carrying this Chelsea team at the moment and I think the manager’s type of play is taking time to settle, but it is a very promising domestic start for them. Maurizio Sarri does like to rest players for different situations .
