Chelsea transfer ban appeal to be heard at CAS on November 20

Chelsea's appeal against a transfer ban imposed by FIFA will be heard at the Court of Arbitration for Sport (CAS) on November 20.

The Premier League side were blocked from signing new players for two transfer windows in February after breaching rules relating to the international transfer and registration of players under the age of 18.

FIFA’s disciplinary committees claim Chelsea violated 150 rules regarding the protection of minors, with around 70 players thought to be involved.

That ban was partially upheld following Chelsea's initial appeal to FIFA, although the club are still unable to bring in senior players, serving the first part of their suspension in the recent transfer window.
