Chelsea Football Club has issued a statement following the unfortunate attack on two of its fans in Naples on Tuesday, just ahead of their UEFA Champions League match against Napoli on Wednesday evening.

In the statement on its website, the Premier League club urged supporters traveling to Naples for the game to “be extremely cautious,” as the two fans are currently receiving treatment for their injuries in the hospital.

“The club is aware of an incident that happened on Tuesday in Naples,” Chelsea’s statement partly read.

It said two fans have been hospitalized with injuries that are not “life-threatening.”

Chelsea also advised all traveling supporters to remain vigilant and heed the guidance provided prior to the match.

While there have been reports circulating on social media about possible stabbings involving Chelsea fans in Naples, the cause of the injuries has not yet been officially confirmed by the Napoli authorities.

Meanwhile, Napoli has a history of away supporters facing hostility from local fans.

On Wednesday evening, the final Match Day of this season’s Champions League group phase, will be played across Europe.

And there is a chance that all six Premier League teams in the competition could progress into the knockouts.

Arsenal are almost guaranteed to finish top of the table, thanks to a perfect run so far.

They host Kairat Almaty and a draw would be enough for Mikel Arteta’s men.

For Liverpool, they sit in fourth place with 15 points and welcome Qarabag.

Victory will seal their top-eight spot, while a draw would leave the Reds vulnerable with eight clubs also on 13 points, meaning Slot’s side may be forced to a play-off.

Totteham occupy fifth position on the log with 14 points, ahead of their trip to Frankfurt.

A win in Germany will ensure they qualify for the last 16, but a point may not be enough to secure automatic qualification with 11 sides who could still overtake them.

Newcastle thumped PSV 3-0 last week and it boosted their chances of snatching an automatic spot.

The Magpies will clash with current holders Paris Saint-Germain and a win will secure their progress to the last 16 and a point may do it, as they have a strong goal difference.

For Chelsea, they occupy the last automatic spot with 13 points and travel to Napoli.

The Blues need victory to boost their hopes of qualifying for the last-16, but a victory alone may not be enough.

A draw against the former Serie A champions gives a chance to the teams circling below with rivals Barcelona and Atletico Madrid in straightforward looking home fixtures.

Manchester City need a win at home to Galatasaray to stand any realistic chance of direct progression to the last-16, with a draw is not likely to be enough with eight teams level on points.

Five teams are currently ahead of Man City on goal difference in the table.
