Chelsea have confirmed that two of their supporters are receiving hospital treatment after being injured in Naples on Tuesday evening. The incident occurred ahead of the club's crucial Champions League league phase match against Napoli at the Stadio Diego Armando Maradona.
The Premier League side stated that the injuries are non-life-threatening but did not provide further details. In a statement, Chelsea urged all fans to 'exercise extreme caution' while in the city and to follow advice previously shared before the fixture.
The Blues, currently eighth in the Champions League table with 13 points, are seeking a positive result to secure a top-eight finish and automatic progress to the last 16. Napoli, the reigning Serie A champions, sit 25th on eight points and face the risk of elimination from European competition altogether.
