Unveiled: The Stars ‘Axed’ by Chelsea’s Club World Cup Party while Enzo Maresca continues ‘bomb squad’ era – only one emitted ‘back from the Brink’

The Chelsea team remains divided to enter a new season, because Enzo Maresca is said to have excluded at least four men who enter the Club World Cup.

The blues will start their campaign next Monday against Club Leon van Mexico before further group establishments against Flamengo and Es Tunis.

Last summer Maresca made the hierarchy clear when he forbade 13 stars to train away from the first team in the development facility with Carlo Cudicini.

Now the manager Djordje Petrovic, Raheem Sterling, Joao Felix and Axel Disasi has excluded his tournament team, according to De Telegraaf.

All four spent at least the second half of the 2024-25 season on loan. Petrovic is a special surprise given the goalkeeper situation of Chelsea and his impressive versions on loan in Strasbourg.

In the meantime, colleague Strasbourg Lider Andrey Santos, as well as new signing sessions, Liam Delap, Dario Essugo and Mamadou Sarr.

Santos is the exception to the rule, with other players who were broadcast on loan as offside as Chelsea sees this as an extension of the 2024-25 campaign.

Sterling struggled for Starts in Arsenal, Disasi was a rotation player at Aston Villa, and Felix has endured a difficult loan spell at AC Milan, even ‘useless’ branded by the Italian journalist Fabio Ravezzani.

Chelsea would like to mention Jamie Gittens and Mike Maignan in their junk for their American journey, but were rejected at the Miniature Deadline Day.

Borussia Dortmund rejected the second range of £ 42 million for Gittens and the Blues did not choose to increase their offer, with the Bundesliga giants getting closer to £ 55 million.

The second transfer window of the summer will be opened again on Monday and any signing sessions can be registered afterwards for the knockout phases of the club World Cup.

The approach of Chelsea for AC Milan -goalkeeper Mike Maignan collapsed after they refused to reach the asking price.

The West Londoners appreciated the 29-year-old France International, who was left for another year in his deal in the San Siro, as high as £ 12.7 million.

But Milan wanted no less than £ 20 million and was happy to impose a ‘Club World Cup tax’ on Chelsea, knowing that they are ready to bank some cash from the tournament.

That Saga makes the exclusion of Petrovic more surprising, because they are left with Filip Jorgensen, Robert Sanchez and Mike Petrovic, who have none of them made an overwhelming case for the long -term gloves.

While the Chelsea deal for Maignan fell through, they completed the signing of defender SARR from Strasbourg for £ 12 million on Monday morning.

That cost the expenditure of the club to £ 60 million this summer, after he had completed the movements for Delap and highly rated sporty Lisbon -ProSpect Essugo.

Maresca gets a better feeling for his side for a demanding season that brings a return to the Champions League.

Chelsea won the Europa Conference League and ended in the Premier League last season.
