Two Brighton fans have been stabbed in the Italian capital ahead of a Europa League match with Roma, local media reports.
The pair were attacked just after midnight in the Monti neighbourhood by a group of seven people wearing masks, according to La Repubblica.
They received stab wounds to the legs before their wallets and documents were stolen, it was reported.
Police attended and are investigating, La Repubblica said.
The two, aged 28 and 27, were taken to the San Giovanni hospital and the Umberto I Polyclinic for treatment, Corriere Della Sera said.
Brighton play Roma in the first leg of the tournament’s round of 16 match at Rome’s Olympic stadium on Thursday afternoon.
