Chelsea fans can now buy tickets for their away clash with Manchester United in May after the British government updated sanctions put upon owner Roman Abramovich.
Club owner Abramovich was punished last month for his ties to Russian president Vladimir Putin following the invasion of Ukraine. The general licence imposed on Chelsea prevented the selling of tickets, merchandise and included other financial restraints to prevent Abramovich from profiting from the club.
On Wednesday, the government updated the licence. The club will now be able to sell tickets to away games, along with cup matches, affecting the Premier League trip to United in the middle of May, but the home club or competition organiser will collect the revenue.
