Dnipro reached the last 32 as Group F runners-up, five points behind Internazionale , with seven points from six games.
“There was a fight between the French and Ukrainian supporters at Prorizna Street in Kiev,” an eyewitness told the TV station. “There were a lot of wounded people, with knife cuts and bruises from bats. I also heard at least 10-12 gunshots.”
Anton Gerashchenko, adviser to the Ukrainian ministry of internal affairs, said in a statement on his Facebook page: “Two French fans were hospitalised with head injuries. Those French supporters inopportunely were caught in the heat of the moment. And our hooligans will be accusing the Frenchmen, no matter who started the fight.”
Earlier this season Dnipro fans attacked supporters of FC Copenhagen in a Champions League qualifier. In July Uefa ordered Dnipro to play matches in Kiev – 220 miles (354 km) to the north-west – amid safety concerns over staging matches in the conflict-torn east of Ukraine.
