A Newcastle United fan who was stabbed during an attack in Milan is back home and "on the mend", his family has said.
Eddie McKay was approached by a group of men on Monday night while returning to his hotel in the Italian city.
The 58-year-old was taken to hospital after being stabbed twice in the arm and once in the back.
Police are investigating the attack, which happened hours before Newcastle's Champions League match with AC Milan.
Mr McKay's family told BBC Radio Newcastle he had safely returned home.
