Rio Ferdinand has affirmed the chaos at Chelsea will cause players 'fear and anxiety' and may lead to a mass exodus at the club.
The West London side are in turmoil after Russian owner Roman Abramovich - now disqualified as a director - was hit with financial sanctions by the UK government amid his country's invasion of Ukraine, meaning the club is in a precarious situation.
And Ferdinand, speaking as a pundit before Brighton play Liverpool on Sunday, claimed certain players 'would not want to stay' given the circumstances at Stamford Bridge.
