UEFA will continue to monitor the security situation in the Middle East closely this week ahead of Chelsea's scheduled trip to Israel next week.
Attacks on terrorist targets in Afghanistan last night by British and American forces has intensified possible security concerns surrounding the UEFA Cup second round first leg tie against Hapoel Tel-Aviv.
Indeed, if the situation worsens, there is a chance the game could yet be moved to a neutral venue, possibly as a one-off tie rather than a two-legged match.
However, Chelsea, who would not wear the names of their sponsors, Emirates airline, on their shirts for an away tie, have made no request as yet for a change of venue.
In the wake of last night's attacks, a UEFA spokeswoman said today: "It is too premature to make any comment at the moment. Obviously we will continue to monitor the situation closely."
Chelsea are determined to ensure the safety of their players and staff, but assistant manager Gwyn Williams added: "So far nothing has changed.
"We will continue to seek guidance from the Foreign Office, as well as the Football Association and UEFA."
Chelsea managing director Colin Hutchinson stressed last week the postponement of the Israel-Austria international by FIFA after a plane flying from Israel crashed into the Black Sea had no bearing on their game.
