Sterling and Chilwell Face Uncertain Future at Chelsea

England internationals Raheem Sterling and Ben Chilwell are training apart from Chelsea's first team as manager Enzo Maresca hinted at their potential transfers. Maresca stated the players might struggle for game time if they stay, while captain Reece James misses the upcoming match due to injury.

England internationals Raheem Sterling and Ben Chilwell are currently training separately from Chelsea's main squad, according to manager Enzo Maresca. This development comes amid speculation in British media about their potential moves away from the Premier League club.

Maresca disclosed this separation ahead of Chelsea's Europa Conference League playoff tie against Swiss side Servette. He explained the decision by noting the team's large roster and the difficulty in providing ample playing time for every member, suggesting that a transfer might be a better option for both players.

Though appreciative of their talents, Maresca emphasized that Sterling and Chilwell might find it hard to secure regular minutes at Chelsea. Meanwhile, captain Reece James is set to miss Thursday's game due to a hamstring injury, as Chelsea aims to secure a win in their next match.
