Enzo Maresca is cutting another player from Chelsea's team.

Stamford Bridge, the home ground of Chelsea Football Club, is buzzing with transfer rumors as more players are expected to leave the team. The latest name on the list is Axel Disasi, a defender who is reportedly not in Enzo Maresca's long-term plans for the club.

Maresca, the new Blues boss, has already made it clear that both Raheem Sterling and Ben Chilwell will not be part of his team moving forward. As a result, the two players were left out of the squad for the team's first league match against Manchester City. They have been training separately from the first-team while their futures are being sorted out.

Another player in a similar situation is Trevoh Chalobah, and Conor Gallagher was also in this position before completing his move to Atletico Madrid on Wednesday. The same day, Chelsea confirmed the signing of Joao Felix, with more deals expected before the transfer window closes at the end of the month.

If Disasi does leave the club, Chelsea may look to bring in another center-half. According to The Guardian, Maresca is not counting on the France international for the upcoming season. Disasi only joined Chelsea last summer in a £38 million deal from Monaco and quickly became a regular in the first-team, starting 40 games in all competitions.

However, the 26-year-old missed most of pre-season due to a hernia surgery. It is believed that Newcastle United is interested in signing him as an alternative option if they fail to agree on a deal with Crystal Palace for Marc Guehi.

With Disasi and Chalobah's futures uncertain, Chelsea still has four other senior center-halves to rely on. Maresca sees Levi Cowill and Wesley Fofana as his first-choice pairing, but Fofana is just returning from a serious knee injury that kept him out for a year. Third-choice is Tosin Adarabioyo, who joined the team on a free transfer from Fulham this summer. Benoit Badiashile is also part of the group.

Considering Fofana's injury, Chelsea may look to bring in another option, and they are reportedly interested in Liverpool's Joe Gomez. Apart from Disasi and Chalobah, Carney Chukwuemeka and Djordje Petrovic are also expected to leave, while Armando Broja is set to join Ipswich.

As the transfer window draws to a close, Chelsea fans eagerly await the club's next move and hope to see their team strengthen for the upcoming season.
