‘The club is aware of an incident that took place on Tuesday evening in Naples,'”‘ Chelsea posted on their official X account.

‘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.’

Chelsea are hoping to seal a top-eight finish in the Champions League group phase that would secure a place in the last 16 of the competition and avoid them playing in next month’s play-off round.
