SOCCER: Chelsea urge vigilance after two fans injured ahead of Napoli match

Chelsea have urged their traveling supporters to remain vigilant ahead of Wednesday's Champions League fixture in Naples after two fans were hospitalized.

The Premier League club did not provide details about the incident or how the injuries occurred.

"Two fans are being treated in hospital, having sustained non-life-threatening injuries," Chelsea said in a statement. "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."

Earlier this month, Chelsea issued a travel advisory warning fans against wearing any clothing identifying them as supporters or moving visibly as Chelsea fans in Naples.

In the Champions League standings, Chelsea currently sit eighth, eight points behind leaders Arsenal, while Napoli are placed 25th.
