, Chelsea fume with strict Premier League Covid rules stopping club sponsorship deals from accessing players

CHELSEA are reportedly fuming with the Premier League over strict coronavirus rules that are affecting sponsorship deals.

Player access for sponsors is the issue, with many having exclusive terms written into contracts.

Chelsea are reportedly not happy some of their players can’t satisfy contractual agreements with sponsors

According to MailOnline, ‘bubbles’ are still being used, with Chelsea unhappy that ‘there appears to be a different stance from the Premier League for their own broadcasters compared to clubs’ commercial partners’.

Sponsors pay millions of pounds to have access to players, with many having product promotion as part of the agreement.

Now there is ‘unrest’ due to the Premier League’s ‘restrictions’.

But there could be some good news around the corner for Chelsea and the rest of the Premier League teams.

The issue is reportedly ‘being reviewed on a weekly basis’ and there is the aim that ‘measures will be removed by February 28, pandemic permitting’.

Clubs have now agreed new Covid rules to clarify when matches can be postponed.

A meeting of the 20 top flight clubs backed Prem proposals to demand at least four positive cases of the virus for a postponement request to be accepted.

The change comes in the wake of League bosses agreeing to call off the North London derby when Martin Odegaard was the only Arsenal player unavailable through Covid.

The Gunners’ clash with arch-rivals Tottenham was postponed just 24-hours before kick-off.

Prem chiefs were widely criticised for that decision, with many accusing Arsenal of taking advantage of a flawed process.
