Posts on social media alleged heavy-handed shepherding of visiting supporters ahead of the last-16 second leg
Chelsea have asked their supporters for information after reports fans were injured accessing the Nou Camp ahead of Wednesday night's Champions League loss to Barcelona.
Posts on social media alleged heavy-handed shepherding of visiting supporters ahead of the last-16 second leg, which Chelsea lost 3-0 to exit the competition 4-1 on aggregate.
The club acted swiftly following the final whistle to try and gather more information.
"We are aware of reports of incidents outside the ground before the game where a number of Chelsea fans were hurt," a Chelsea spokesperson said.
"We ask that our supporters contact us with accounts of their experiences of this evening's arrival at the stadium so that we can take this up properly with the authorities."
