Chaos: Tottenham supporters were injured in Rome in an attack by Lazio fans
Tottenham fan Ashley Mills was stabbed before his side met Lazio in Rome in November, while three supporters were taken to hospital after a bar was attacked ahead of Spurs' last 32 clash in Lyon last month.
Tottenham goalkeeper Brad Friedel said: 'There has been a lot going on. We are told about it and we hope everyone is safe on their journey.'Everyone has been very helpful in trying to solve the problems that have gone on. We are all in this together to make sure that all fans on both sides are safe. Hopefully everything will go smoothly.'
