Enzo Maresca gives update on Chukwuemeka and Chilwell situation at Chelsea.

It seems that there have been some changes in Chelsea's first-team training sessions as Ben Chilwell has been removed from them. However, Enzo Maresca, the assistant coach, has stated that there is still a chance for Chilwell to return and that Carney Chukwuemeka, who was also told to find a new club, still has a future at Chelsea.

Chilwell, who was appointed as vice-captain last season, was informed in the summer that he was not in the team's future plans and was even asked to train separately from the rest of the squad. Despite this, the 27-year-old was unable to secure a move during the summer transfer window and it seems he will remain at Chelsea until January. He has also been left out of their Europa Conference League squad.

However, Maresca has revealed that Chilwell could potentially return to training with his teammates. "Ben is now probably the only one who is still here, so we will sit with him and find solutions," Maresca said. "He is probably going to be back with us in the training sessions. We will see. At the moment, he is not training with us. But from now on we need to sit with him and find the right solution."

When asked about Chilwell's mental state, Maresca reassured that he seems to be doing well. "I think he's good, to be honest. As I said, he's not training with us, but I can see, I saw him this morning, he is okay," he said.

Maresca also added that Chukwuemeka, who was told to find a new club, will be a part of his plans after failing to secure a move away from Chelsea. "I said already to him personally and I said already to you in the press conference, I really, really like Carney," Maresca said. "The problem is that we have so many attacking midfielders that he's going to struggle to find space and for me, because of his past in terms of injury, the best thing to do was to go in some team to prove himself that he's fit, and he can play 30, 35 games and then come back here."

Unfortunately, no solution was found for Chukwuemeka and he will now remain as part of the squad. "Now he's one of the players in our squad and we can use him," Maresca confirmed. It seems that both Chilwell and Chukwuemeka will have a chance to prove themselves and potentially play for Chelsea in the near future.
