England midfielder Jack Wilshere has insisted that the supporters have not let the team down following the violence in Marseille.

Both England and Russia have been threatened with expulsion from Euro 2016 by UEFA due to the unsavoury scenes.

A number of England fans were involved in scuffles with police and Russian supporters prior to the match, while violence broke out in the Stade Velodrome on the final whistle of the two nations'1-1 draw on Saturday.

According to Goal.com, when asked if the fans had let the team down, Wilshere said: "Of course not. I wouldn't say that. Their support in the stadium was fantastic and it always is - it was the same in Brazil.

"There was obviously a little bit of trouble but from what I saw in the stadium the fans were brilliant and we thank them for that. Before the game we were obviously aware because every single player has got a Twitter account and you can see over that. But as soon as we got to the stadium we felt the fans, it was fantastic support in the stadium.

"We let the people in the right positions deal with that kind of thing and we just need to concentrate on football. The fans in the stadium were brilliant. They helped us to perform the way we did. The trouble in the game you are not aware of while you are playing – it is only after the game you are made aware of it."

England will take on Wales in Group B on Thursday.
