Frank Lampard has already directed a dress rehearsal that can steady the ship at Chelsea amid an impending crisis following the UK Government's decision to shortlist Roman Abramovich.
The 55-year-old has been been added to the UK government's sanction list following Russia's invasion of Ukraine, with all of his assets - including Chelsea Football Club - frozen with immediate effect.
Chelsea will be allowed to continue functioning with restrictions under a sporting licence that expires at the end of May but its sale has been blocked and Abramovich will no longer be permitted to invest.
