The bank account of Chelsea has been temporarily suspended byBarclays in the wake of Roman Abramovich being sanctioned by the UK government.
The reason for the suspension is that the bank needs time to assess the license that the club has been given.
The suspension will be lifted soon.
The UK government gave a licence to continue with football-related activities after the assets of owner Roman Abramovich were frozen.
More to come.

It is hard to focus only on football when Russia is invading of Ukraine, says Thomas Tuchel, who is a coach in the English top flight.
In an interview with Sky Sports, the German was asked what he had time to reflect on in challenging circumstances.
He said that it has never been more true to live in the moment because everything else seems very difficult.
To understand the situation feels very difficult, to see where it is going is not easy. We stick to the motto to live in the moment and worship where we are.
It is not easy, but we can't change it. Sometimes it makes things more difficult, but sometimes it's easy to accept that we can't do anything in the moment.

The government&s decision to sanction Roman Abramovich, but not Thomas Tuchel, was supported by the manager of the Reds.
He said that he and Thomas were not that close.
I feel for him and the players and all the employees at the club because it is not a nice situation.
What happens around is something they are not responsible for. Vladimir Putin is the one man who is really responsible.
I don't know about Roman Abramovich's role in these things. You could guess that he is close.
I think the British government did a good job of being honest. It's not cool for the people at the club. I understand.
I think the government did the right thing.
