Chelsea have released a statement revealing that the two fans attacked in Naples ahead of Wednesday’s Champions League clash against Napoli are being treated in hospital for “non-life threatening injuries.”
The Blues face the champions of Italy at the Diego Armando Maradona Stadium at 9 p.m. local time in their final fixture of the league phase. Fans from the London-based club had already flocked to the southern city ahead of the fixture. After reports emerged of the assault on two supporters on Tuesday evening, Chelsea were forced to issue a public address.
