Chelsea are preparing the necessary paperwork required to withdraw from the European Super League. According to multiple sources, the Blues have performed a U-turn on their involvement in the controversial breakaway competition.

The change of heart came as thousands of fans staged a protest outside Stamford Bridge, with the Chelsea team bus prevented from entering the ground by a blockade.

Club legend Petr Cech was forced to confront supporters in a bid to allow the bus into the ground ahead of the Premier League encounter with Brighton on Tuesday night.

The decision was immediately welcomed by Gary Neville, who tweeted a video of dominoes falling and wrote "Here they go," outlining his hope that Chelsea would be the first of many clubs to withdraw.
