'We go day by day': Chelsea technical director Petr Cech admits he DOESN'T know whether the Blues can finish the season after sanctions against Roman Abramovich... but claims the Russian's trophy-laden reign can't be 'erased' from their history

Petr Cech has revealed that Chelsea are living 'day by day' since the UK government sanctioned Roman Abramovich and admitted he does not know whether the Blues can finish the season.

The club has been plunged into one of the biggest crises in its history, as the sanctions imposed on Abramovich over his ties to Vladimir Putin and the invasion of Ukraine have hamstrung the club financially.

Chelsea have been issued a special licence to continue operating, but cannot sell or sign players, renew contracts, sell new tickets or merchandise, and have significantly reduced travel budgets and home match costs.
