Chelsea: Roman Abramovich's first starting XI against MSK Zilina - where are they now?

Roman Abramovich is set to call time on his 19-year reign as Chelsea owner after sensationally announcing this week that the club has been put up for sale.

Abramovich, who has won 17 major trophies since taking over at Stamford Bridge in 2003, has placed the Blues on the market amid fears he could be sanctioned by the British government over Russia's invasion of Ukraine.

His impact at the club has been immeasurable, with Chelsea now a major force in European football almost two decades since he rocked up on the Fulham Road.
