Wednesday's game against Lille could be the last Champions League away match Chelsea fans are allowed to attend this season.
The club is currently operating under a special license granted by the UK government.
The license was issued after the government sanctioned Chelsea owner Abramovich for his alleged links to Vladimir Putin, who ordered the Russian army to invade Ukraine last month.

One of the conditions of Chelsea's current license is that the club cannot sell any tickets or merchandize.
