Four Chelsea players excluded from new roster as transfer signal is sent.

Maresca was faced with a difficult task of choosing his squad for the Europa Conference League play-off against Servette this week. One of the notable names missing from the list was Raheem Sterling, who was also left out of the squad for the Premier League opener against Manchester City. The decision sparked a statement from Sterling's representatives, who were seeking clarity on his future with the club.

According to the statement, Sterling is committed to delivering his best for Chelsea and their fans, with whom he shares a strong bond. The representatives also mentioned that Sterling had a positive pre-season under the guidance of the new coach, with whom he has developed a good working relationship. However, despite being included in the official pre-match material, Sterling was not given a chance to play in the weekend fixture, leaving his camp in confusion.

Along with Sterling, other players like Ben Chilwell, Wesley Fofana, and Tosin Adarabioyo were also left out of the squad. Adarabioyo, who recently joined the club, was an unused substitute in the previous game, while Fofana played the full 90 minutes. Chilwell, on the other hand, did not make the squad for the friendly against Inter Milan, with Maresca urging him to find a new club due to his struggle to find the right position.

In a recent interview, Maresca spoke about the challenge of choosing a starting lineup, stating that all 22 players in the training session wanted to play against City. However, he acknowledged that it was impossible for everyone to get minutes and that it was not beneficial for the players or the team if they did not play regularly. With the transfer window open, Maresca hinted that Chilwell might need to leave and find a club where he can get more playing time.

The decision to leave out some key players has caused some controversy among fans and the media, with many speculating about the reasons behind it. However, Maresca remains focused on the upcoming match against Servette and hopes to secure a spot in the group stages of the competition. As for the players left out, their future with the club remains uncertain, but one thing is for sure - the competition for a spot in the starting lineup at Chelsea is fierce.
