Chelsea manager Enzo Maresca has issued a stern warning to players who are currently training apart from the first team, stating that they will not receive any playing time if they remain at the club.
Maresca’s comments come amid speculation surrounding the futures of several Chelsea players, including Raheem Sterling, who has been linked with a move away from Stamford Bridge.
“All the players who in this moment are training apart will NOT get any minutes in case they stay,” Maresca declared.
When specifically asked about Sterling’s situation, Maresca replied, “My advice to Sterling? He knows exactly what he has to do.”
The Chelsea manager made it clear that his message applies to all players who are currently training separately, not just Sterling. “It’s not just Raheem, all of them,” Maresca emphasized.
Maresca’s words suggest that players who are not fully committed to the club will not be rewarded with playing time, even if they remain at Chelsea beyond the transfer window. This approach aims to maintain a cohesive and dedicated squad, with players who are fully invested in the team’s success.
As the transfer window enters its final stages, Maresca’s comments will undoubtedly resonate with players who are considering their futures at Chelsea.
