Chelsea owner Roman Abramovich has been sanctioned by the United Kingdom government, a move which has a huge impact impact on how the club will operate.
Although Abramovich has seen his assets in the UK frozen, Chelsea have been provided a licence to continue operating, given their cultural significance in the country and their impact on the rest of the football pyramid.
The club must adhere to a 'Russia Regulations' licence and one of many consequences for the club under the licence is a logistical nightmare for next week’s Champions League round of 16 game away to Lille.
