The punishment comes with the potential for a far harsher fine.

Conditional breaches of Uefa’s financial rules mean Chelsea risk being hit with a further £60m fine.

Premier League rivals Aston Villa have also been slapped with a fine.

However, the Villans breach is far less severe.

The Midlands outfit have been fined £9.5m.

They then have a further £15m in conditional fines for additional breaches of the Uefa financial rules.
