An already troubled Chelsea has been banned from the transfer market for two windows after Fifa found them guilty of a serious and systemic breach of the rules regarding their dealings with foreign players under the age of 18.

The governing body announced the sanction on Friday at the end of a lengthy investigation into the club and how they have registered players at their academy over a number of years.

The news have already broken the internet minutes after the shocking ban.

Chelsea will be able to sell players, but not register any new signings.

“This ban applies to the club as a whole – with the exception of the women’s and futsal teams – and does not prevent the release of players,” FIFA said in a statement.

Here are some of the reactions from the football world.

Matt Law tweeted, “Chelsea have known this was coming for a while though. They were prepared for it and (though they would never admit it) some don;t think it is entirely a bad thing. Could force a re-set moment in terms of playing youth.”

Fountaine also said in Twitter, “I don’t think I can make a stronger case for Chelsea sticking with Sarri than now Chelsea have been hit with a ban. Players like RLC, CHO, Xtensen are already having formative years under him. Kepa and Jorginho are already used to his system. Pulisic comes in July”

as Scott Anders added, “Chelsea’s board should just accept reality and realise it’s time for a change in philosophy after this ban.”

A not-so-happy Henri Hilario says, ” hope FIFA reject any Chelsea appeal of the transfer window ban. We’ve known this about this ban for months, the club is really lucky the ban is dropped down to 2 transfer windows (1 year) instead of the initial 4 windows (2 years) we’ve read for months “

A more hopeful @itzkidbreezy says, “I see this as an advantage for Chelsea they have some promising youngsters mason mount, Hudson odoi, Tammy abraham to name a few “
