Chelsea FC are being investigated by the Premier League for potential financial rule breaches during Roman Abramovich’s ownership of the club.

The US-led consortium, which owns Chelsea, reported its own club to UEFA and the Premier League after their takeover last summer.

At present, Chelsea have not been charged with anything by the Premier League.

If they were found guilty of rule breaches, sanctions could include a fine or a points deduction.

On 28 July, UEFA announced they had fined Chelsea €10m (£8.6m) for “submitting incomplete financial information” between 2012 and 2019.

Chelsea are not commenting.

Abramovich’s 19-year tenure as Chelsea owner came to an end in May 2022.
