Chelsea clear to wear CWC badge in Prem for remainder of season

Chelsea have received permission to wear their Club World Cup on their Premier League shirts for the remainder of the season.

The Champions League holders won the competition for the first time this month after beating Palmeiras 2-1 in the final in Abu Dhabi.

They then wore the badge celebrating their success in Saturday's 1-0 victory at Crystal Palace in the Premier League, but many believed it was just a one-off occurrence.

However, The Sun reports the Blues have been granted permission to have the badge printed on their shirts for the remainder of the league season.

The report claims top-flight bosses believe allowing the west London side to display the fact they are world champions on their strips is positive for English football.
