Two Blues fans hospitalized ahead of decisive Champions League clash, with club warning traveling support to heed safety advice.
Chelsea has issued a stark warning to its supporters in Naples, urging them to exercise “extreme caution” after two fans were hospitalized following an incident in the Italian city on Tuesday evening.
The club confirmed the attack on social media, stating the injured supporters sustained non-life-threatening wounds and are receiving treatment. The alert comes hours before Chelsea’s crucial final Champions League group stage match against Napoli at the Diego Armando Maradona Stadium.
“Chelsea Football Club is aware of an incident that took place on Tuesday evening in Naples,” the statement read. “Two fans are being treated in hospital… 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 tense atmosphere overshadows what is a pivotal European night for the team. Chelsea needs a positive result to secure a top-eight finish in the group phase, which would guarantee automatic qualification for the last 16 and avoid a risky playoff round next month.
The warning underscores recurring concerns over fan safety at high-stakes European away games, casting a shadow over the buildup to the match.
