Abramovich to watch Chelsea for the first time this season

Following the poisoning of the former spy Sergei Skripal a year ago, the British government withdrew the visas of Russian diplomats and did not renew the Chelsea owner's visa, prohibiting him from entering the country.

A diplomatic conflict that has meant that Roman Abramovich has not been able to watch Chelsea compete this season, despite owning the club in which he has invested a fortune and for which he has received offers worth millions.

Although he was able to attend the recent friendly in the USA against New England Revolution, the Russian owner will be able to attend the Europa League final in which his side face Arsenal.
