Chelsea have closed their official shop at Stamford Bridge after Roman Abramovich's sanctions were announced on Thursday morning.
Abramovich, on Tuesday, joined the likes of Everton's Alisher Usmanov on the UK sanctions list as the situation in Ukraine continues to get worse by the day.
As a result of these new sanctions, Chelsea will be allowed to continue functioning with restrictions under a special sporting licence that expires at the end of May, but its sale has been placed into doubt and the owner will no longer be permitted to invest.
Among many consequences for the club under the "Russia Regulations" licence, any prize money earned will be frozen and supporters will not be allowed to attend away games.
Players and staff will continue to be receive their salaries and monies owed to clubs will be repaid.
But there are questions over next week's Champions League trip to Lille due to a cap of £20,000 being placed on travel costs. The club were meant to travel to France by private plane.
Chelsea was put up for sale last Wednesday as Abramovich sought to sever ties with the UK.
The threat of sanctions had been hovering for more than a fortnight with calls from parliament for the oligarch to be added to the government list.
Abramovich has long denied any association with Russian president Vladimir Putin but the government has now stated explicitly that he has been an associate "for decades".
The sanction said: "[Abramovich] is associated with a person who is or has been involved in destabilising Ukraine and undermining and threatening the territorial integrity, sovereignty and independence of Ukraine, namely Vladimir Putin, with whom Abramovich has had a close relationship for decades. This association has included obtaining a financial benefit or other material benefit from Putin and the government."
These new sanctions have not only affected transfers and contractual issues within the club but also the basic daily running - and the club shop has now taken a hit.
As per LBC News amongst others, at 11am, the club shop was closed, as confirmed by stewards at the ground.
In person dealings will not be able to be done for the foreseeable future. However, at the time of writing, fans are able to still purchase merchandise via the online shop, with Nike are also currently selling still on their website.
In other avenues around SW6, hotels at Stamford Bridge are also facing uncertainty with it being revealed that they can't take any new bookings for the foreseeable future.
