Chelsea sporting director, Petr Cech, has admitted the club is living “day-by-day” since the UK Government sanctioned its owner, Roman Abramovich.

Cech also admitted he does not know whether the Blues can finish the season.

Sanctions have been imposed leaving them hamstrung financially.

Although Chelsea have been issued a special licence, they cannot conclude any transfers, renew contracts, sell new tickets or merchandise, and have significantly reduced travel budgets and home match costs.

Speaking on Sunday, Cech said: “We have to admit that we go day by day, because it’s not in our hands.

“The conversations are going on (so) that we can operate in a way that we can finish the season.

“Obviously it’s a difficult situation and we’re part of the Premier League as well, one of the best competitions in the world and I believe that for us to carry on to finish the season, it would obviously help everybody involved in the Premier League too.”

Former Manchester United striker, Dimitar Berbatov, has named the team that could “surprise” Arsenal in the Premier League title race.

The Gunners are now six points clear of second-placed Chelsea, thanks to their 4-1 demolition of Tottenham on Sunday.

Mikel Arteta’s men could extend that lead to nine points, when they travel to face the Blues this weekend.

Berbatov has now said he expects Arsenal to be “really tested” over the hectic festive period and says their title credentials will become clearer in the New Year.

“Of course Liverpool are low in the table and Man City are dropping points, but there are other teams like Chelsea who can surprise people,” Berbatov told ESPN.

“Six points is a good cushion but in the Premier League it’s nothing and can go very quickly.”
