Chelsea hit with yet another sponsorship suspension as club crisis worsens

Tech company Parimatch have become the latest sponsors to suspend their partnership with Chelsea after owner Roman Abramovich was sanctioned by the UK government.

The Russian oligarch was punished by Boris Johnson and his colleagues for allegedly having ties with Vladimir Putin, who is currently waging a bloody war in neighbouring Ukraine. Abramovich has always denied links to Putin's regime.
