How Chelsea Is Expected to Line Itself The Coming Season After Massive Transfer Ban

CHELSEA were left heartbroken today after Fifa ruled they will not be allowed to postpone their two-window transfer ban.

The Blues had hoped to delay the suspension and splash a whopping £200million this summer on the likes of Kalidou Koulibaly and Mauro Icardi.

But now it seems Chelsea will have to make do with the tools at their disposal – and may now miss out on Zinedine Zidane taking over as boss.

The talented crop of youth players at Stamford Bridge will now be licking their lips at the prospect of some first-team action – but will they actually get to play?

In goal, record-signing Kepa Arrizabalaga will be the No1 starter, while the back four reads the same as this season – including the highly-impressive Antonio Rudiger.

In midfield it’s high-time Ruben Loftus-Cheek proved he is the main man – along with Jorginho and N’Golo Kante.

The England star has proven to be a threat on a number of occasions this season, but often misses out on a starting spot to current loanee Mateo Kovacic.

Callum Hudson-Odoi has more than proven he deserves to start after a goal in his brief cameo against Dynamo Kiev.

Along with January signing Christian Pulisic and Eden Hazard, he could be part of a fearsome front-three.

Chelsea will welcome back Michy Batshuayi for next season – along with Alvaro Morata – but neither of those two or Olivier Giroud have proven consistent enough in West London.
