Two Chelsea supporters are currently receiving hospital treatment in Naples after sustaining non-life-threatening injuries following an incident on Tuesday night, just hours before the Blues’ Champions League showdown with Napoli.
Chelsea are in the Italian city for Wednesday’s highly anticipated European fixture, with thousands of travelling fans already arriving to back the team.
However, events off the pitch have prompted the club to issue a strong safety reminder to supporters ahead of kick-off.
The club has confirmed it is aware of the situation and has advised all visiting fans to remain vigilant, follow official guidance and prioritise their safety while moving around the city.
Chelsea have been allocated 2,500 away tickets for the match, with a significant presence expected at the stadium.
“The club is aware of an incident that took place on Tuesday evening in Naples,” the club said in an official statement.
“Two fans are being treated in hospital, having sustained non-life-threatening injuries.
“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.”
As attention turns back to matters on the pitch, the Blues will be hoping for a positive result against Napoli, while club officials continue to monitor the situation closely and stress the importance of supporter safety throughout the Champions League trip.
