Chelsea skipper John Terry was involved in an "unfortunate" accident which resulted in one of the club's security staff suffering a badly bruised leg after the Champions League defeat to Inter Milan.
Terry, 29, was not aware of the injury at the time but spoke to the police and the member of staff when he was made aware of the incident.
A Chelsea spokesman said: "We can confirm there was an unfortunate accident as John Terry left Stamford Bridge last night.
"When driving out of the stadium at approximately 1-2mph in a queue of traffic exiting the ground, his car was surrounded by photographers and fans.
"In the melee that ensued a member of Chelsea's security staff was knocked to the ground, making contact with the car. He suffered a badly bruised leg.
"John was aware at the time that there was a lot of contact with his car during the incident, but not that anyone was injured as a result.
"Upon hearing of the injury, John spoke to the police. He has also been in contact with the staff member to check on his welfare."
The Metropolitan Police confirmed a collision but reported the victim suffering a "broken" leg.
A spokesman said: "Police were called at 2313 on Tuesday, March 16 to Stamford Bridge, Fulham Road, SW6 to reports of a collision between a car and a pedestrian.
"A 35-year-old man suffering a broken leg was taken by ambulance to a west London hospital where he is in a stable condition.
"The 4x4 car did not stop at the scene. Enquiries into the incident continue."
