Merseyside Police confirmed that a male was taken to hospital as a result, but was released having only suffered minor injuries. Liverpool are in Naples for the first time since 2010, when three away supporters were treated for knife wounds and four others also suffered injuries.
Liverpool and Merseyside Police have advised travelling fans to not wear club colours around the city centre and to not make their own way to the Stadio San Paolo, using the shuttle buses provided instead.
