It's now emerged Strasbourg fans are being stopped taking signs into the home stadium criticising - or even mentioning - Chelsea.

The Sun says ahead of the Ligue 1 home game against Lyon, fans were stopped from enterting with a banner, which read: “Chelsea doesn’t decide what’s going on at Strasbourg”.

Security staff are said to have told fans that the word ‘Chelsea’ is not allowed on any banners.

On the day, Strasbourg defeated  Lyon, who were on a 13-game winning streak.
