A Newcastle United fan is in hospital after being stabbed in Milan on Monday night.

Eddie McKay, 58, from Newcastle, was reportedly with his son at around midnight last night when they were attacked by a group of seven or eight people.

Mr McKay is in a stable condition in hospital

Fans have flocked to the Italian city to watch the club play in their first Champions League match in 20 years on Tuesday night, against AC Milan at the San Siro.

The victim’s daughter, Rachel McKay, told Sky Sports News: “My dad is stable and in a bit of shock. He’s gutted he’s missing the match but just wants every other Newcastle fan out here to be aware and be safe.

“He has just had two knee replacements so he fell when he was being chased and that is when he was attacked.

“My brother is okay but is in shock after seeing that happen to our dad. I’m flying out there later. We haven’t slept all night.”

Newcastle United is aware of the incident and is working with local authorities.

A Newcastle statement said: “We are deeply concerned by reports that a supporter was seriously assaulted in Milan on Monday evening and we are liaising with local authorities to understand the circumstances.

“Our thoughts are with the supporter and their family and we hope for a full and speedy recovery.”

The club have 4,000 tickets for the fixture, but further ticketless fans have travelled to Milan ahead of the game.
