Maccabi Tel Aviv fans will not be able to buy tickets to their club's match with Aston Villa next month, Sky News understands.

It is understood the Israeli club will not sell tickets because of safety concerns.

It comes after the government said it was exploring what "additional resources and support are required" to allow "all fans" to attend.

Supporters of the Israeli side had been told last week they would not be allowed to go to November's game in Birmingham after a decision by Birmingham's Safety Advisory Group (SAG).

The group - made up of local stakeholders, including representatives from the council, police and event organisers - said the decision was due to a high risk of violence based on "current intelligence and previous incidents".
