Chelsea owner Roman Abramovich was hit with a number of sanctions by the UK Government on Thursday morning, severely impacting the running of the Blues.
It comes amid Russia’s invasion of Ukraine, with a number of states sanctioning those associated with Vladimir Putin and the Russian state.
While Abramovich has always denied links to Putin, the Government report states he is a “pro-Kremlin oligarch” and claims he has been associated with the Russian president for decades.
