Overview
- Enzo Maresca confirmed Raheem Sterling and Axel Disasi are training separately and stated there is no path back into his team.
- Sterling posted social media footage of a solitary evening session, underscoring his separation from the main group.
- The PFA, whose chief executive contacted Chelsea, is reported to be satisfied with the training arrangements provided to the duo.
- Late-window moves failed to materialise, with a proposed Fulham loan for Sterling collapsing over wages and guaranteed minutes and interest from West Ham, Crystal Palace and Bournemouth not leading to deals.
- Pundit Danny Murphy urged Chelsea on talkSPORT to allow the pair back into first‑team training, arguing reintegration would be less disruptive than continued isolation.
