The fresh clashes in the Southern French city follow Thursday night’s unrest which saw one English supporter and a local man detained.
The violence comes ahead of England’s group B match with Russia in Marseille on Saturday evening.
According to reports, supporters leaving after tonight’s game fear they may be left stranded amid further transport strikes. A fifth of Air France flights have been cancelled while trains have been disrupted.
