Chelsea 's fears they will not be able to finish the season have eased as they have been granted a £110million boost by government officials.

Stamford Bridge chiefs have been locked in talks to amend the terms of their special sporting license granted after their owner, Roman Abramovich, was added to the United Kingdom's sanctioned individuals list on Thursday.

The Blues are able to continue with football-related activities as part of this license but they are prevented from selling tickets or merchandise.

They were rocked by further financial blows later in the week with Hyundai and Three among the sponsors to suspend their deals with the club, while Barclays temporarily blocked their credit cards.

Given the lack of matchday and retail income combined with the freezing of Abramovich's assets, there were growing concerns Chelsea would be unable to finish the season.

However, these fears have been allayed as the government has decided to allow the club to access television and prize money which was previously frozen.

That is according to The Sun, which claims Chelsea can use the potential £35million they could earn as television income
