Chelsea's Boxing Day match against Fulham could be under threat due to a planned strike on London Underground.
Stamford Bridge club in talks over possible London Underground strike
Chelsea are consulting relevant authorities amid the possibility their Boxing Day match against Fulham could be under threat due to a planned strike on London Underground.
Drivers have scheduled a 24-hour walkout on 26th December and on three other days over the next two months.
The strike could have an impact on Chelsea's game against Fulham at Stamford Bridge by hampering the travel of fans, matchday staff and club employees.
Arsenal have already confirmed they are in talks with authorities and now Chelsea have announced they are also holding discussions.
A statement read: "Chelsea football club would like to make clear that we are consulting with London Transport, the Metropolitan Police and all relevant local authorities regarding our Barclays Premier League fixture with Fulham at Stamford Bridge on December 26.
"At present, a proposed industrial strike on London Underground, combined with the lack of national rail services in operation could make reaching the stadium difficult both for Chelsea and Fulham supporters, as well as matchday staff and employees, all of whose safety and wellbeing remains our primary concern.
"Any further decisions or developments will be made public first through Chelseafc.com."
