Chelsea are in 'SERIOUS danger' after Roman Abramovich was sanctioned by the Government, says club legend Pat Nevin... but believes the Blues will 'survive' despite uncertain future

Chelsea legend Pat Nevin admits he is gravely converned for the club's future after Roman Abramovich had his assets frozen by the Government.

The club have been sent into turmoil after the Russian was sanctioned due to his ties to president Vladimir Putin amid his decision to invade Ukraine last month.

Chelsea can no longer sell match day tickets or merchandise during the sanctions, while their away day spending has also been capped and shirt sponsor Three have also asked to suspend their deal amid the ongoing chaos.

The grave situation has left Chelsea fans fearing for their future - with the club unable to agree new contracts or signings and their search for a new owner sidelined for now - and Nevin says the predicament is a concerning one.
