British sides play in Lens on Thursday but fans fear they will be attacked with Russians based just 24 miles away in Lille
Worried England and Wales fans fear they could be targeted by 150 'hyper violent' Russian ultras on the loose in France after police failed to arrest a single one for violence during riots in Marseille.
The Three Lions play Wales in Lens on Thursday, with Russia just 24 miles away when they take on Slovakia in Lille.
But due to a booze ban in Lens and better transport links, many English and Welsh supporters are staying in Lille, where the Russians play the day before.
French police chiefs say up to 150 “hyper-violent” Russian ultras are on the loose in France and not one of them were arrested for violence during riots in Marseille.
Russian football fans unfurl a flag reading 'When we're good they never remember.
City Chief Prosecutor Brice Robin said “hyper-rapid, hyper-violent” hooligans travelled to the city for Saturday’s game against England.
He said a handful were stopped as they arrived at the airport, but the majority slipped into Marseille by train.
They are now on the loose in France and feared to be en route to Lille.
Both England and Russia have been warned by Uefa they face expulsion from the competition if there is repeat of the sickening scenes in Marseilles, where fans clashed inside and out of the stadium.
Mr Robin said: “I don’t want to go as far as to say they are professionals, but they are extreme and well-trained.”
Around 15,000 Russian are said to be in France.
Welsh fans will also be added to the mix. Although there will be less than the 40,000 who descended on Bordeaux with around 10,000 expected to make the trip.
The was no reports of trouble when Wales took on Slovakia in Bordeaux, with the locals praising their behaviour.
The Russian threat has led to some fans to tailoring their trips to try and avoid any potential violence.
England fan Paul Barrett said: "We have tickets for the match we've decided to just get the Eurostar in and out, however we still have to go through Lille before we get to Lens.
"We just want to watch the match. All this is added bother we don't need."
Wales fans Tim Edwards added: "It's a worry. I don't think they'll see us as Welsh, just British."
Uefa, which voiced "utter disgust" at the disturbances, has opened an investigation into the Russian fans' behaviour and could announce sanctions tomorrow.
However Russian hooligans remain undeterred and believe targeting England supporters will be seen a badge of honour back home.
In Marseille six England fans are appearing in court this afternoon on violence charges.
A 16-year-old boy arrested for throwing a bottle has already been dealt with and is in the care of British consular staff.
Chief Prosecutor Robin said he had personally rang Uefa to make sure the teen’s tickets for the rest of the tournament have been cancelled.
The chief prosecutor also said England fan Andrew Bache suffered a brain injury after being hit “several times” with an iron bar.
He remains in a “very grave” condition in Timone Hospital. Three other England fans are in a “serious” condition.
They are well organised and experts say their barbaric actions are “tolerated” by Government officials and even sponsored by the Russian state.
