Four Manchester United fans jailed after a fight with Roma supporters will spend Christmas behind bars in Italy.
The four men were given prison sentences for their part in a mass brawl with supporters of AS Roma but hoped to be freed after an appeal.
But the judges deciding their fate will wait until after Christmas to deliver their ruling.
Kyle Dillon, 23, and Richard Wimmer, 39, were both jailed for two years and six months.
Nicholas Lucas, 18, and Michael Burk, 35, were both jailed for two years and five months.
The four were arrested on December 12 after fighting broke out with AS Roma fans before United's Champions League group game in Rome.
The Britons were charged with violent behaviour and resisting arrest after the clash.
If the appeals tribunal decides to release them they will serve suspended sentences in the UK.
