Two England supporters were injured following a disturbance in the centre of the city.The injured men were brought to the Carlton Hotel, the base of the England team, where they received medical attention before being taken to hospital by ambulance.

FA Chief Executive Adam Crozier and FA Head of Communications Paul Newman visited the hospital.

"We've seen and spoken to the fans and they seem to be ok," Crozier told TheFA.com when he returned to the team hotel.

"The ambulance was called and they have been treated well.

"The most important thing is that the fans are going to be ok."

Paul Newman said: ``A lot of people in the hotel were aware of the gunshots, including some players and some FA staff, who were up at that time, in their rooms facing the square.

``We were aware of two people being treated in the doorway of the hotel.

``The injured fans and their friends seemed to be using the front of the hotel as a sort of refuge where they could get treatment, and once in there, an ambulance was called.

``Our concern is for the welfare of these fans and their condition. We understand that their condition is improving, which is obviously very good news.

``At no stage was security of the England team compromised. England fans appear to be behaving themselves very well and everybody hopes that will continue despite this incident.''

FA Communications Manager Adrian Bevington added: ``Sven and several players heard the shots and were aware of what was going on. Some of the players were still being massaged at that time.

``It's fair to say that people like (FA security chief) Ray Whitworth did a very good job, ensuring the ambulance got to these two people while also ensuring that the safety of the players remained paramount.

``The only reason that the team hotel became involved in this situation was because it was seen as a safe haven.

``We have a moral responsibility to ensure that if English fans do need treatment overseas then we do everything in our powers to assist.''
