Raheem Sterling, a football player for Chelsea, may have an uncertain future with the team. This past weekend, he was dropped from the squad for their match against Manchester City, causing some controversy. Chris Sutton, a former football player, spoke out against Sterling's response to being dropped, calling it "ridiculous" and a "poor decision."
According to Sutton, Sterling was not happy about being left out of the squad and issued a statement expressing his disappointment. In the statement, Sterling mentioned that he has a good relationship with the new coach and is committed to delivering his best for the club and the fans. He also stated that he was expecting to be involved in the match in some way, based on his inclusion in pre-match material.
However, Sutton believes that Sterling's response was unnecessary and should have been handled differently. He points out that Chelsea currently has a large squad and the manager, Enzo Maresca, needs to trim it down. With so many new players joining the team, some may need to be let go, including Sterling. Sutton suggests that if Sterling had performed better during pre-season, he would have been included in the squad.
Maresca himself acknowledged that Sterling's omission was a "technical decision" and that he wants to keep all 30 players on the team, but there is not enough space for everyone. He also mentioned that Sterling still has three years left on his contract, making it difficult for the club to move him on.
Overall, the situation with Sterling's future at Chelsea remains uncertain. However, it is clear that the club is looking to trim their squad and some players may need to be let go. Sutton believes that Sterling should have handled the situation differently and kept his head down, rather than making a public statement. Only time will tell what the future holds for Sterling at Chelsea.
