Chelsea's ability to operate on a day-to-day basis was complicated further on Friday after Barclays temporarily froze the club's credit cards, sources have told ESPN.
The news, which was first reported by The Times, comes after the club's assets were frozen on Thursday following U.K. government sanctions on owner Roman Abramovich
The Blues have been given a licence to continue fulfilling fixtures and paying staff but are relying on cash reserves to function with various revenue streams halted as part of the government action on Abramovich due to his alleged ties with Russia President Vladimir Putin.
