Chelsea have urged fans travelling to Naples for their Champions League game today to exercise extreme caution, after two supporters were rushed to hospital treatment.

Around two thousand, five hundred Chelsea supporters have tickets for the game in the Italian city, which has a long history of cases of away supporters being targeted by Napoli ultras.

In a statement confirming an incident that took place on Tuesday evening in Naples, Chelsea management said the two fans involved sustained non-life-threatening injuries.

It noted that “The club would like to remind all supporters to exercise extreme caution whilst in the city and take note of the advice shared ahead of this fixture."

The club management urged fans urged to meet at designated areas so they can travel to the ground by shuttle bus under police escort.

Fans on social media claimed Chelsea supporters had been stabbed, but there has been no official confirmation of how the injuries were caused.
