Roman Abramovich has been sanctioned by the UK government for his close ties to Russian president Vladimir Putin amid the ongoing crisis in Ukraine.
The Chelsea owner was found to have an association with Puting going back "decades", with the Russian leader "destabilising Ukraine and undermining and threatening the territorial integrity, sovereignty and independence of Ukraine".
The sanctions mean that the club will be hit with measures that stop the sale of any new tickets or merchandise and prevent the club from agreeing new contracts, among other issues.
