Chelsea's appeal against their two-window transfer ban will be heard at the Court of Arbitration for Sport on Wednesday.FIFA found the London club guilty of breaching article 19 of its regulations on the status and transfer of players , which concerns the protection of minors.Chelsea appealed to FIFA and the case was heard in April, but documents published by FIFA at the end of October showed its appeals committee found the Blues had committed 150 breaches of regulations.
The likes of Tammy Abraham, Mason Mount and Fikayo Tomori, all Chelsea academy products, have returned to the club from loans elsewhere to make a big impression on the first team at Stamford Bridge. All three have also been capped at England senior level by Gareth Southgate since the start of the season and the Blues are in third place in the Premier League table, behind second-placed Leicester only on goal difference.
