Things turned sour last night for a set of Manchester City fans. According to reports, around twenty of the club’s supporters were assaulted by a masked group of Crvena Zvezda fans. While the police are yet to identify the assailants, it has been stated the attackers were allegedly from the Red Star Army.

Serbian media outlet Telegraf has provided more details on the assault, stating Manchester City fans were struck on their heads and bodies by the assailants, before those responsible for the attack fled towards Belgrade city center.

On the pitch, Manchester City has remained unbeaten so far in the Champions League. The team will look to maintain their hundred percent success record in the group stages as they take on Crvena Zvezda. However, the team will miss out on the services of Erling Haaland, who has been ruled out of the game due to an injury.

While Manchester City has been on a roll in the UEFA Champions League, the side has been hit with a massive setback before their upcoming encounter. They will be without the services of star striker Erling Haaland, who has been out of action, having last played in the game against Aston Villa.

However, the absence will not play a big role in the team’s results, as the side has already qualified for the knockout stages of the tournament. Manchester City boss Pep Guardiola will hope to keep his striker fresh for their upcoming Premier League clash as the side is four points behind table-toppers Liverpool. Haaland has been a key player for the team in the attacking third and his absence could hurt the team’s chances of lifting the Premier League title this season.
