The trustees of Chelsea's charitable foundation are yet to accept Roman Abramovich 's offer to hand over stewardship and care of the club, according to multiple reports.
Abramovich put out a statement on the eve of the Carabao Cup final, suggesting a number of key decisions related to the running of the club would be out of the owner's hands.
Chelsea have repeatedly maintained the changes do not signify that the club is for sale, though no timeframe is understood to have been set when it comes to determining when Abramovich - who has been absent from a number of Blues games in recent years - will resume his responsibilities.
