12:47Now PlayingAston Villa confirmed on Thursday that no away fans from the Israeli side are to attend the European tie due to security fears.
The decision was reached based on “current intelligence and previous incidents”, including violent clashes at a match between Ajax and Maccabi Tel Aviv in Amsterdam last year.
