Chelsea will have been "surprised" by the size of the fine that UEFA dished out to them for failing their financial rules.
With around £140m having been spent already, Chelsea are at risk of not being able to register some new signings for their Champions League List A, unless they can settle the difference in funds. This could include Liam Delap, João Pedro, Dario Essugo, Mamadou Sarr, and Jamie Gittens.
