Andreas Christensen trapped with Chelsea eager to keep players | Football News

"The situation I found myself in was very difficult to accept."

Andreas Christensen claims that Chelsea refuses to sell one of his players this summer with a transfer ban hanging over his head.

In February, FIFA sentenced the Premier League club to a transfer ban after being convicted of 29 offenses involving the signing of minors.

Chelsea said that they were "surprised". FIFA rejected their request for freezing the ban during an appeal. She could now appeal to the Sport Arbitration Court to overturn her decision.

Christensen, frustrated by the limited time set by his head coach Maurizio Sarri, seems to be trapped at Stamford Bridge.

"The message we have is that Chelsea can not appeal this case and therefore wants to keep all the players," said the 22-year-old Danish journalist. Ekstra Bladet.

"The situation I found myself in was very difficult to accept."

Christensen has been used sparingly in the league with only three caps, but has made 10 appearances in the Chelsea Europa League campaign this season.

"I've tried to show myself on the training track, but it's hard because the number of practice sessions with all the matches that the team is going to play is limited." added the central defender.

"Now I have played the Europa League matches and hope it will continue as long as we are in the tournament."
