Fifa had ruled the club could not sign players until 2011 after inducing Gael Kakuta to
break his Lens contract.
But Chelsea appealed to Cas, which said on Friday: "Such sanctions are now stayed
until the Cas renders its final decision in this matter."
The decision means Chelsea will be able to sign players in January.

Am I alone in thinking that they will shake the market in January with at least
one big, big signing in order to be ready for whatever the final decision could be?
Originally posted by mtthwmy point was more regarding the new signings perspective. who would want to leave a club playing in the last 16 of the cl to be cup-tied?
But if they're worried about next season, being cup-tied isn't relevant.
i can see them going to france or germany and picking up a couple of decent young players.
