A number of English and Welsh fans are expected to stay in the city ahead of their game in Lens – which is just 28km away – on Thursday, and the video appears to show Russian hooligans targeting fans of both nations at a bar.

Both England and Russia have been threatened with disqualification from the tournament if there is a repeat of the violent scenes in Marseille.

On Tuesday Uefa issued Russia with a suspended disqualification after their supporters appeared to attack English fans in events after the final whistle in the Stade Velodrome on Saturday.
