Chelsea to take transfer ban fight to Court of Arbitration for Sport
"FIFA have upheld Chelsea's one-year transfer ban but the English Premier League club will still be able to register youth players during the period following an appeal.
Chelsea were fined 600,000 Swiss francs and sanctioned in February in relation to 29 cases where regulations relating to the international transfer and registration of players under the age of 18 were breached.
"The FIFA appeal committee has decided to partially uphold the appeal lodged by Chelsea FC against the decision of the FIFA disciplinary committee to sanction the club with a ban on registering new players at both national and international level for the next two complete and consecutive registration periods," FIFA said in a statement.
"This ban applied to the club as a whole - with the exception of the women's and futsal teams - and did not prevent the release of players."
But FIFA's appeal committee decided the club can still sign players under the age of 16 as they concluded imposing a ban on registering each and every minor "would not be proportionate to the offence committed".
In a statement Chelsea said they are "very disappointed" with FIFA's decision and will take their case to the Court of Arbitration for Sport."

Could be a blessing disguise for us.
It may force the club to fast track some of our youth players into the first team and play them more frequently. The academy is not short of talent, with the likes of Callum Hudson-Odoi, Ethan Ampadu and Mason Mount having the potential to breakthrough.
Chelsea also has the benefit of loaning out many players, so they could easily recall some quality players into the team.
