Chelsea will be able to sign players in January - if they want.
The boys at SW6 appealed to the Court of Artbitration for Sport (Cas) who decided to suspend the ban inposed on them by Fifa for ilegal transfer activity.
The suspension of the ban means the Blues can operate in the transfer market until the appeal is heard - a date for this has not been set.
Cas said: "Such sanctions are now stayed until the Cas renders its final decision in this matter."
So there you have it....
