Chelsea Will Focus On Manchester United Game, Not January Transfers - Carlo Ancelotti
Pragmatic Chelsea boss not looking too far ahead…

The European Court of Arbitration for Sport today ruled to suspend Chelsea's two-window transfer embargo, but the prospect of signing new players in Janauary is not something manager Carlo Ancelotti is giving much thought to.
Instead, the Italian insists the Blues' focus is on Sunday's big showdown with Manchester United.
"We have to focus our season on the game on Sunday," Ancelotti said at a pre-match press conference.
"We can buy," he said. "But now we have other questions and it is not important what we can do in January.
"It's a very important game - we play against the second team in the Premier League. It counts for three points like the other games, but we play a fantastic team.
"We know it will be a difficult match. We are happy to play this game at this moment because we are doing well, are in good condition, and we have a good mental attitude."
