Chelsea are set to receive a bonus for allowing players to compete in the World Cup but could miss out on extra funds due to injuries to key players.
FIFA is paying out to all the clubs that have allowed their players to go to Qatar for the 2022 tournament, and teams will receive compensation for the players missing out on time with their clubs as the break splits the season into two for the first time.
The final games of the domestic and European season are already over heading into the competition, and Chelsea won't be in action again until December 27 after being knocked out of the Carabao Cup. This leaves Graham Potter with a handful of squad members left during the next month.
