Four West Ham fans assaulted by Eintracht Frankfurt ultras in unprovoked ATTACK - with one taken to hospital - ahead of the side's Europa League clash on Thursday, with others targeted simply for 'being foreign'

Four West Ham fans have been targeted by Eintracht Frankfurt ultras in unprovoked attacks.

One, a 34-year-old man from Chelmsford, Essex, was taken to hospital with a suspected broken nose and cracked teeth. Another supporter suffered a gashed lip in the ambush at the Fox and Hounds pub in the centre of the German city.

Two more were set upon close to the Rhine's main tributary after their attackers heard them speaking English. A group of Croatian students were also attacked in the city's Alt-Sachsenhausen district for simply 'being foreign', police told MailOnline.
