Seven men sought by police investigating racist chanting at a train station after a Chelsea Champions League football match last week have all been identified, police say.
British Transport Police said the men would be interviewed in due course.
Police had released images of seven men taken at St Pancras
station in London about 8pm on Wednesday last week.
This was the day after an incident on the Paris Metro before Chelsea's match with Paris Saint-Germain when a man was subjected to alleged racist abuse.
In a statement yesterday, solicitor John Kaye, who has been engaged by Chelsea fan Jamie Fairbairn, 23, said his client had accepted being among those in the carriage of the Metro train during the incident involving a black man, Souleymane Sylla, on Tuesday last week.
