The recent ban on Chelsea football club from participating in the transfer window may not very much hit the club as it has one of the highest number of loaned players in Europe.
Chelsea were in fact hoping they will not be forced into a player reduction as a result of the new loan rules that will be announced this year by fifa.

The Fifa council is to ratify new rules in 2019 that have prompted fears that clubs that loan out a large number of players, such as Chelsea, will be forced into a rethink.
Chelsea currently have 39 players out on loan, but a large number of them are club or associated-trained players aged under 23 or 21 and 20 of them are currently playing in England.
The matter will be discussed with Fifa aiming to have the new rules in place in March, ahead of their implementation for the start of the 2020-21 campaign.
