Chelsea transfer ban upheld by FIFA

Chelsea transfer ban upheld by FIFA

Youth player transfers will be allowed.

FIFA have announced that they have upheld Chelsea's one-year transfer ban but the Premier League side will be able to register youth players during the period following an appeal.

Chelsea were fined 600,000 Swiss francs and sanctioned in February in relation to 29 cases where regulations relating to the international transfer and registration of players under the age of 18 were breached.

The next step for Chelsea could see them take their case to the Court of Arbitration for Sport to try and freeze or overturn the ban.

Chelsea are in action tomorrow night in the 2nd leg of the Europa League semi-final against Eintracht Frankfurt, before their final Premier League game against former champions Leicester City on Sunday.
