Eintracht Frankfurt fans have been banned from their Champions League last-16 second-leg tie against Napoli after incidents in the first leg.

The first leg in Frankfurt on 21 February had been categorised as high risk by police and there were some clashes between fans before the match.

Eintracht said the decision was made by Italy's interior ministry.

Earlier this season, Eintracht, the Europa League holders, were fined after trouble at a match in Marseille.

Napoli are leading 2-0 from the first leg. The second leg at the Diego Armando Maradona Stadium in Naples takes place on Wednesday, 15 March.
