West Ham United are confident that appropriate measures will be in place to ensure that no Eintracht Frankfurt supporters make it into the home sections for next week’s Europa League semi-final first leg at London Stadium.
Discussions are continuing between both clubs, the stadium’s operators and police ahead of the most eagerly anticipated fixture since the ground opened to football in 2016. But there are already plans for additional stewards to be drafted in and the Metropolitan police will provide a more visible presence with an expectation that thousands of ticketless Eintracht fans will make the trip to East London.
A senior London Stadium source confirmed to MirrorFootball that they will have “enhanced steward and security resources and this will be integrated with significant police planning.”
