Spurs have warned their fans not to wear club colours when travelling to Moscow for next week’s Champions League game in Russia.
Their Group E fixture at CSKA Moscow will be the first between clubs from England and Russia since the violence that sparked outrage during this summer’s Euro 2016 tournament.
Both countries were threatened with expulsion after the scenes in Marseille and Lille.
Now Spurs have taken the unusual step of urging supporters not to display anything giving away their allegiance – until they get inside the stadium on Tuesday night.
The warning, part of travel advice on the club’s website, reads: “Please note, for additional personal security, it is suggested that you do not show your football colours until you are inside the stadium.
“Whilst flags and banners are welcome at the stadium, we recommend that they are not openly shown in the city centre.”
