Chelsea’s shirt sponsor Three has suspended its deal with the club after owner Roman Abramovich was sanctioned by the British government.
The telecoms company began sponsoring Chelsea at the start of last season in a deal worth around £40m per year, and its logo is prominently displayed on the club’s kits, around Stamford Bridge and at the training facility in Cobham.

A statement by Three read: “In light of the government’s recently announced sanctions, we have requested Chelsea Football Club temporarily suspend our sponsorship of the club, including the removal of our brand from shirts and around the stadium until further notice.
