Christian Pulisic makes honest admission over Chelsea sale and Roman Abramovich sanctions

Christian Pulisic says Chelsea find themselves in a "crazy" situation following the sanctions imposed on owner Roman Abramovich by the UK government.

Abramovich was sanctioned by Boris Johnson and his colleagues for allegedly having ties to Vladmir Putin's regime. Russia invaded neighbouring Ukraine exactly a month ago, triggering a bloody war in eastern Europe. Abramovich denies these allegations. The Russian oligarch's assets have subsequently been frozen, limiting the club's vital revenue streams.

Chelsea are currently operating under a special license, restricting them from completing most transactions - including selling home Premier League tickets. The government have granted them permission to sell tickets for cup, away and women's games.
