appealed against the one-year transfer ban handed to the Premier League giants, FIFA confirmed on Tuesday but will have to wait to discover whether the ban will be temporarily lifted pending the outcome of the appeal.
Chelsea immediately said they “categorically refute the findings” but having now appealed, they must await a decision from FIFA’s appeal committee about whether there will be an easing of restrictions ahead of a hearing being convened. Barcelona and Atletico unsuccessfully contested their two-window ban, while Real Madrid’s penalty was reduced on appeal to one January window which had little impact.
FIFA probed Chelsea’s signing of foreign under-18 players, including the club’s former forward Bertrand Traore, a Burkina Faso international who now plays for French Ligue 1 club Lyon.
I hope we will win this case.
It's a good thing they appealed buh my take: This might just be an opportunity for the guys on loan
It's a good development
Sounds good but not that they will even make reasonable signings if the ban is lifted
