Chelsea's Champions League clash vs Lille to be shown on state-owned Russian TV station

Chelsea's Champions League clash with Lille is set to be broadcast on state television in Russia, with UEFA yet to follow the Premier League in pulling broadcasts of their competition from the country.

Companies from around the world have been boycotting Russia since Vladimir Putin made the decision to invade Ukraine, but UEFA competitions can still be shown live. Clubs from the country were removed from competition by the European governing body but a similar decision has not been made on broadcasting rights.

The Premier League, FA and EFL have all suspended their broadcast deals in Russia since the invasion of Ukraine began. But due to UEFA's lack of action, Thomas Tuchel's side will be viewed on a state-owned television on Wednesday night.
