EPL: Chelsea facing points deduction as investigation begins into financial breaches

The Premier League have opened an investigation into Chelsea over potential financial rule breaches during the Roman Abramovich era.

The new owners at Stamford Bridge led by Todd Boehly, reported their own club to UEFA and the Premier League following their takeover last summer.

As at Tuesday, Chelsea have not been charged by the Premier League.

If the Blues are found guilty of rule breaches, the sanctions could include a fine or a points deduction.

On July 28, UEFA fined Chelsea €10m for “submitting incomplete financial information” between 2012 and 2019.
