2500 Chelsea fans are expected to cheer on the Blues in Champions League clash in Naples, but Napoli fans have a history of being violent in crucial games like these.
Chelsea have however told fans to take “extreme caution” in Naples after two supporters were treated in the hospital after being stabbed ahead of Chelsea’s Champions League tie against Napoli in the competition’s final round of group games.
“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.”
In travel advice that was issued to fans earlier this month, Chelsea said: “During Uefa competition matches, attacks on away fans have sometimes occurred in Naples.”
