Chelsea may be unable to select their unvaccinated players for next month’s Club World Cup, with FIFA awaiting guidance from local authorities following Abu Dhabi’s decision to remove the UK from its green list.
The current rules, which are subject to change, state any arrivals from the UK to Abu Dhabi who have not had a booster dose face a mandatory 10-day quarantine.
It is unclear how many members of Thomas Tuchel’s squad remain unvaccinated but as it stands they will not be allowed to participate in the competition, with their semi-final scheduled for February 9.
