Banks block Chelsea credit cards; team stranded, no money to fuel bus
Following sanctions by the UK government, Chelsea’s company credit cards have been temporarily frozen.
The Athletic reported this on Friday, a development which could affect logistics and operations of the London club.
According to The Athletic, the freezing of Chelsea’s credit cards could leave the club stranded and “unable to buy fuel for the team bus.”
This could hamper movement of the defending champions’ for their games in the UEFA Champions League and Premier League.
British authorities Thursday announced sanctions against Chelsea owner Roman Abramovich over his alleged ties with Russian President Vladimir Putin for ordering the invasion of Ukraine on February 24.
Following the freezing of the club’s assets, Chelsea jersey sponsor Three suspended its partnership with the London club.
