When can Chelsea learn of potential charges for spending rules breaches? Explained

Chelsea are still waiting to learn if the Premier League charges them with breaches of the Profit and Sustainability Rules during Roman Abramovich's tenure.

According to Football Insider, the hope is that the news will be delivered before the start of the next campaign in August.

The Premier League wants to avoid the situation when the season is marred by points deductions in the middle of the campaign like it happened this term with Everton and Nottingham Forest.

However, it will take time for the governing body to deliver a verdict if and when Chelsea are charged with financial breaches.
