Report: Chelsea's Credit Cards Frozen Amid Roman Abramovich Sanctions

Barclays has suspended Chelsea's credit cards amid Great Britain sanctions against Russian oligarchs in the country like Blues owner Roman Abramovich, per multiple reports, during Russia's invasion of Ukraine.

Those sanctions led to Chelsea's assets being frozen Thursday.

Per James Olley of ESPN, "the limitations on spending—which include a cap of around £20,000 ($26,000) on travel to away matches and a £500,000 ($652,000) limit on the cost of staging home games—have led Barclays to suspend the club's credit cards for fear of breaching government rules."
