The Court of Arbitration for Sport (CAS) confirmed to football.london last week that Chelsea had not yet registered an appeal to get the transfer ban frozen this summer, and that continues to be the case.

CAS issued a media release on Friday to state that the Blues had filed an appeal to them to try to get the two-window transfer ban from FIFA overturned.

However, Chelsea have, as yet, not filed an appeal to get the transfer ban frozen for the summer in order for them to register new players.

There was a fear that if the Blues do try to delay it, then they might have had their ban extended for another window.

When contacted by football.london on June 7, CAS stated: "For a challenged decision to be stayed during the CAS proceedings, a specific request to this effect must be made.

"At the time of writing (June 7), a request has not been filed in the Chelsea/FIFA matter. Accordingly, the FIFA decision remains in force."

And they have reiterated that point to The Telegraph, with the same statement which confirms the Blues are yet to do so.

FIFA imposed the ban on the Blues after they alleged Chelsea broke their regulations over the signing of youth players.

There is still time for Chelsea to lodge another appeal to freeze the ban for this summer to sign players, however they are yet to do so.

It means that some of the loanees and youth players are set to get their chance to make a bid for the first team in the 2019/20 season.
