Roman Abramovich's sale of Chelsea could go through as quickly as within TEN DAYS, says Premier League chief Richard Masters, with 'indicative bids' needing to be submitted by tomorrow and Marina Granovskaia set to lead the post-Russian ownership exodus

Premier League chief executive Richard Masters believes Roman Abramovich has made the 'right decision' in putting Chelsea up for sale and said a change of ownership could go through in just 10 days.

Masters said the Russian-Israeli billionaire's ownership of the Stamford Bridge club was 'unsustainable' in the wake of Russia's invasion of Ukraine.

He confirmed there will be a show of support for Ukraine at Premier League fixtures this weekend and that broadcasting deals in Russia were 'under review'.

And Masters also confirmed a human rights element to the owners' and directors' test in English football is being considered with the Premier League in consultations with Amnesty International.
