Chelsea owner makes first visit to Stamford Bridge since 2018Thomas Tuchel says
Russian billionaire is ‘in love with the game’Roman Abramovich will not attend Chelsea’s
Champions League tie against
Juventus at Stamford Bridge on Tuesday night despite travelling to
London and making a rare visit to the stadium on Sunday.
Chelsea’s owner, who has not been seen at a home game for more than three years, hosted Israel’s president, Isaac Herzog, at a small event. It was the first time Abramovich, who has not used the trip to meet Thomas Tuchel, has been at the club’s stadium since a delay over his application for a new
UK visa led to him withdrawing it in 2018.
