Chelsea will not face Club Leon at this summer's Club World Cup after the Mexican side were kicked out of the competition by FIFA.
When the draw for the tournament was made in December, Chelsea and Leon landed in Group D, alongside Flamengo of Brazil and Tunisian outfit Esperance de Tunis.
However, Leon have now been removed from the competition due to a breach of FIFA's regulations surrounding multi-club ownership.
Both Leon and Liga MX rivals CF Pachuca are owned by Grupo Pachuca, and although both had initially qualified for the expanded 32-team tournament, their participation was challenged on the grounds that they share ownership.
