Chelsea have announced they will not be able to sell tickets for their FA Cup tie against Middlesbrough on Saturday after failing to amend the terms of their Government licence.
The Blues were handed a special licence by the Government last week after owner Roman Abramovich's assets were frozen due to his link to Russian president Vladimir Putin, a seismic move which has left the club in limbo.
As a result of Abramovich's sanctioning, they are currently unable to buy or sell players, renew player contracts, spend more than £20,000 on match travel and sell tickets or merchandise.
