Uefa have dismissed calls to move the Champions League final away from after an Arsenal fan suffered a suspected stab wound prior to the Gunners' meeting with Roma at the Stadio Olimpico last night.

Moving the game at this late stafe would put fans at more risk, according to Uefa spokesman William Gaillard.

Gaillard told Sky Sports News such a move would disrupt security measures already put in place.

"Moving to another place would probably put these arrangements in danger so it wouldn't be safer, it would be less safe," he said.

The British Embassy in Rome said last night's victim was travelling on a minibus when it lost its way near the stadium and was ambushed by rival fans.

An embassy spokesman said the injured man managed to make his way into the stadium where he was treated for a bleeding leg.

Arsenal fans were warned before the game, which the Gunners won on penalties to eliminate the hosts from the competition, to avoid certain areas of the city because of fears there could be trouble with Roma's notorious hardcore fans, or 'ultras'.

It was not the first time fans have been hurt in the Italian capital, with Manchester United supporters twice targeted over the last two seasons.

That led Uefa president Michel Platini to warn earlier this season the final could be moved should such violent incidents continue.

However, Gaillard today said that was unlikely to happen.

"We will review arrangements with the Italian police," he said. "We will have a larger number of police present, as we did in Moscow last year, and more stewards for visiting fans.

"It will be a different situation in which it will be a neutral venue.

"We take it seriously because a fan was injured and there is no way we would take it for granted that everyone will be fine.

"We will be in a completely different context for the final. There will be no Rome team involved.

"A much more neutral context, together with the special measures we are putting in place with the Rome police, should ensure we have a good venue for the fans."
