Newcastle United manager Eddie Howe says Chelsea's off-field problems shouldn't affect their match at Stamford Bridge this afternoon.
The Blues’ world was turned upside down on Thursday when the UK Government decided to sanction Chelsea owner Roman Abramovich due to his close links to Russian President Vladimir Putin, who is currently waging war in Ukraine.
As part of the sanctions, which has seen Abramovich’s assets frozen, Chelsea are no longer able to sell match tickets, negotiate player contracts, buy or sell players, sell anything in the club shop or spend more than £500,000 per fixture, per team when hosting games.
