Military veterans have reportedly taken legal action to scupper Chelsea's £2billion revamp of Stamford Bridge.

The Blues' redevelopment plans were given the green light in July after they offered £50m for the site where around 100 military veterans and their war widows live next to Stamford Bridge.

Mail Sport revealed the veterans were furious at the prospect of being forced out of their homes, and they have now stepped up their efforts to prevent the sale from happening.

Veterans have applied for an injunction in a bid to stop the Stoll Charity trustees, who run the block of flats, from selling the site to Chelsea, according to The Sun.
