Chelsea's uncertain future may become a bit clearer by the close of play Friday as potential owners submit their bids.
The Blues have been in limbo over the past couple of weeks due to sanctions played upon them following the Government's decision to freeze Roman Abramovich's assets. The Russian has owned the west London outfit since 2003 but his alleged links to Vladimir Putin have landed him in hot water following the ongoing invasion into Ukraine.
Chelsea are currently unable to buy any players or engage in contract talks with their current squad. That is due to the sanctions placed upon them, which has also seen the club shop close for business and restrictions placed on their travel costs. Potential new owners have spoken publicly about their interest and possible intentions should they acquire the club ahead of Friday's deadline.
