Chelsea have held an emergency board meeting amid the UK government's announcement of sanctions against owner Roman Abramovich.
The Russian has seen his assets frozen by the government, throwing into question the potential sale of the club after he had earlier issued a statement confirming he was ready to listen to offers.
Questions also remain regarding ticket sales and player contracts, though the London side have been permitted to continue with footballing activities with a new operating licence severely restricting what the club can do.
