The inevitable problems of Chelsea's bloated squad start even before the season kicks off with Raheem Sterling accused of letting his team-mates down by a pundit.
The inevitable problems of Chelsea's bloated squad started even before the season kicked off, with Raheem Sterling announcing his discontent an hour before their opener against Man City.saying they wanted "clarity" about his role at the club and that they had expected him to be involved.
Maresca called it "a technical decision", adding: "In the next days we will see if it needs to be clarified." "Putting that statement out before the game is not good enough. That will not help your team-mates or your case of getting back in the team.Nevin, who played for the club from 1983 to 1988, wonders if this situation could knock Sterling's transfer fee down.
Academy products Gallagher and Chalobah and striker Lukaku, who cost them £97.5m three years ago, are all training away from the first team. Midfielder Carney Chukwuemeka and defender Axel Disasi were among the other players left out against City."Carney is a very good player. The problem is, because of some injuries in the past, I think the best for him is to play 30 or 35 games in a row, to show himself that he is fit and how good he is. With us, is he going to play 35 games? I'm not sure."
