Chelsea club secretary David Barnard is set to give the Blues' trip to MK Dons a miss as he still remains aggrieved about Wimbledon's relocation to Milton Keynes.

Barnard worked as Wimbledon's chief executive for 13 years, before the club was moved to Buckinghamshire in the form of MK Dons almost 15 years ago.

The 2002 relocation led to a huge amount of distress in the Wimbledon community and left many locals unemployed, prompting Barnard to stay in West London and prepare for the last few days of the winter transfer window.

The Blues will travel to Stadium:mk to face MK Dons in the fourth round of the FA Cup on Sunday.
