Chelsea supporters are concerned about a future without their billionaire Russian owner Roman Abramovich, but are confident that their team will continue to be successful on the pitch.

Fans arriving for Thursday's Premier League game at bottom side Norwich City, which third-placed Chelsea won 3-1, were still trying to digest the earlier news that sanctions had been imposed on Abramovich by the British government in the wake of Russia's invasion of Ukraine.

The Russian bought the club in 2003 for a reported 140 million pounds and his investment since then resulted in the most successful era in their 117-year history. “I went to Abu Dhabi to watch us win the Club World Cup . I’ve had some great years following Chelsea.” Luo Zhiyuan, a Chinese fan who lives in London, wants “an owner who cares about the club like Abramovich. Given the current situation it’s probably best for him to be gone but he’s done a lot for the club and we’re very grateful.”
