Five supporters of Ligue 1 side Lyon have been attacked and injured ahead of their side's Champions League clash against Barcelona this evening.

The two sides played out a 0-0 draw in Lyon last month, and head into the game with every chance of pulling off an upset - given that their opponents failed to score a precious away goal in their Groupama Stadium encounter.

According to AS, five Lyon supporters were attacked in the Catalan city, with four of them being treated for the effects of pepper spray, and another hospitalised with an unspecified wound.
