Although 42 first-team players are listed on the club website, many of them have not been spotted in training. During his two months at Stamford Bridge, manager Enzo Maresca has fielded inquiries regarding the players’ fate.
He excluded the club’s most well-known player, Raheem Sterling, from his debut Premier League starting lineup during Sunday’s 2-0 loss at home to Manchester City.
Conor Gallagher, an England midfielder, has left for Atletico Madrid, a move that has angered certain members of the fan base. Meanwhile, fellow homegrown talent Armando Broja is expected to sign a loan deal with Ipswich with an option to buy.
Many other players, such as midfielder Carney Chukwuemeka and defenders Ben Chilwell, Axel Disasi, and Trevoh Chalobah, are worried about their futures.
In their 2-0 victory over Servette in the first leg of the Uefa Conference League play-offs at Stamford Bridge, Disasi made a comeback, but the others are out of the running.
Noni Madueke, who has also been connected to a move to News, scored Chelsea’s second goal of the match.
