Blues confirm two supporters being treated in hospital for non-life-threatening injuries

Chelsea have confirmed that two of the club’s fans are receiving hospital treatment after being injured in Naples.

Chelsea also reminded fans to “exercise extreme caution” while in Naples and heed previous advice they had shared ahead of the game.

“The club is aware of an incident that took place on Tuesday evening in Naples,” Chelsea said in a 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.”

Chelsea head into the game against a Napoli team managed by former Blues head coach Antonio Conte sitting eighth in the Champions League table with 13 points from their seven matches so far.

Liam Rosenior’s side will be looking for a positive result and for other scores to go in their favour in order to seal a top-eight finish and automatic progress through to the last 16, avoiding a nervy two-legged knockout play-off tie in the process.

Reigning Serie A champions Napoli, meanwhile, sit outside even the play-off places in 25th on eight points ahead of kick-off and are battling to avoid exiting Europe altogether this season.
