Chelsea celebrated its Premier League title on the field, and that will be it. (AP Photo/Frank Augstein)Chelsea announced Wednesday that it is canceling a victory parade to celebrate its Premier League title in the wake of the bombing that killed 22 people leaving an Ariana Grande concert in Manchester on Monday night. In a statement, the team said it would be “inappropriate” to hold the parade in London this weekend and that it didn’t want to divert any emergency services to it.

The victims of the Manchester bombing also will be acknowledged before Saturday’s game.
