Chairman Bruce Buck has told fans that he believes Chelsea owner Roman Abramovich is still totally committed to the club.
Russian billionaire Abramovich has not watched a game at Stamford Bridge since May last year when he was denied a visa.
Abramovich, 52, subsequently left London and relocated to Israel.
But Buck has said: 'Everything he's doing reaffirms his commitment to Chelsea.
'We hear from him several times a day and he's talking to us about players, commercial activities and our good causes.
'So I would say he's committed to Chelsea.'
Concern arose earlier this week after club accounts revealed that Abramovich had given up his director's box at Stamford Bridge.
Abramovich has spent at least £1million on corporate hospitality boxes every year since 2011, but didn't renew his purchases for the start of the 2018-19 season.

I'm sensing there's something amiss going on behind closed doors. If this man hasn't been in England since last May, it is possible that his commitment is dwindling a bit? Is he losing interest bit by bit? There must be something eerie happening and hope it is ok there. I hope he doesn't wake one day and decides to sell Chelsea. There'll be potential buyers, however, many may not or probably won't make so much of a difference as Abramovich did for that team.

Of course he remains committed...that's the only legit business he's got. The guy could not even prove where he got his money from to the home office and that's the reason he can't get his visa now!
WTH is that? Where did you gathered all this crap from?
