Chelsea legend Graeme Le Saux has slammed his former employers after they demanded Saturday's FA Cup game against Middlesbrough be played behind closed doors - a request that has since been withdrawn.
The Blues are not allowed to sell tickets for the away game after sanctions were placed on their owner Roman Abramovich. Chelsea asked for the tie to be played in front of no spectators "for matters of sporting integrity".
The UK government and others slammed the Champions League holders for the request and Le Saux, who made more than 300 appearances for Chelsea across two spells, believes it is "either ignorant or arrogant".
