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."
A 22-year-old Chelsea supporter was stabbed and taken to hospital in central Naples before the Champions League match against Napoli. A group of around 20–30 people wearing black, described as Napoli ultras, targeted a cluster of Chelsea fans in a poorly lit area. Two fans sustained non-life-threatening injuries and received hospital treatment between 23:00 and 04:00 local time. Police were notified the following afternoon and the injured fan still planned to attend the match. Chelsea used social media to warn supporters to exercise extreme caution and follow pre-match safety advice while in the city.
