Chelsea is facing a possible transfer ban following accusations from FIFA of breaking the rules on the signing of 25 minors.

FIFA announced last September that they were investigating possible breaches at Chelsea when it came to the recruitment of youth players from overseas.

Clubs are not permitted to sign players under the age of 18 from other countries unless their parents have emigrated for reasons not connected to football or both the player and club are based within 50km of a national border. 

Real Madrid, Barcelona and Atletico Madrid have all received transfer bans for similar violations.
