Chelsea banned from two transfer windows

Chelsea have been banned from buying players in the next two transfer windows.

Fifa made the announcement over breached rules in relation to youth players. Chelsea has been fined £460,000, while the Football Association (FA) has been fined £390,000.

The ban does not prevent the release of players and will not apply to Chelsea's women's and futsal teams.

It comes following a Fifa investigation into the Blues' signing of foreign under-18 players, including former striker Bertrand Traore.

The Premier League club have been given three days to appeal against the world governing body's decision.
