The Russian authorities are yet to confirm the game at the Gazprom Arena will take place with supporters present because of the Covid situation in the country. They are likely to decide either way by Tuesday 30 November.

Zenit have put tickets on sale to their supporters online but with no guarantee they will be able to attend the match if the Russian authorities decide it should take place behind closed doors.

We recognise this is very late notice for Chelsea fans wishing to travel to Russia, particular as visas require planning, but we do not wish to give supporters false hope for a game they may not be able to attend.

We will keep supporters updated as soon as we receive more information. Thank you for your understanding.
