Chelsea have been given a two transfer window ban by FIFA for breaching the rules around the transfer of minors — and it could see Eden Hazard stay at Stamford Bridge.
The west London club have been found to have breached article 19 of FIFA's regulations with regards to the transfer of 29 minor players and article 18 regarding two further minors.
They have now been banned from registering new players for the next two transfer windows — the coming summer window and next January. But Sportsmail understands they have been prepared for this eventuality for a while.
