The violence in Gelsenkirchen, in western Germany, erupted after England fans had sought to enter a steakhouse full of Serbia supporters, German police have said.
One English fan was treated at hospital but discharged himself to attend the game at the 50,000-capacity Arena AufSchalke, which England won 1-0.
The fighting at 3.45pm local time led to chairs and tables being upended, and several fans and at least one police officer were left with heavy head wounds.
