The Chelsea duo ‘Bomb Squad’ Raheem Sterling and Axel Disasi made the headlines this week after the action of the PFA.
PFA concerns concerning the treatment of Chelsea of Sterling and Disasi
Enzo Maresca frozen the two players in training with the team of the first team, and they are currently undergoing separate training diets after failing Stamford Bridge’s moves in the summer transfer window.
Sterling in particular caused a sensation when he published a photo on social networks which showed him a training alone at a end -night session at 8 pm – and this prompted the PFA to express their concern about the treatment by the pair by Chelsea.
PFA director Maheta Molango intervened to ensure that the club complies with FIFA regulations on isolated players followed by the Maresca team, with the Chelsea manager who is recovering in a press conference on Friday and making an interesting comparison with his father.
“My father is 75 years old and for 50 years, he has been a fisherman, working from two in the morning to 10 am,” said Maresca.
“It’s sad in life – not a player and the way they work.
“I was in the situation of Raheem and the situation of Axel as a player, and I know, I know that it is not the best feeling for a player because you want to train and play, then, for a different reason, the situation is the situation. I know that the club gives it the opportunity to work in the right way and this is the only thing I can say.
“It’s not just Chelsea, it’s any club in the world, I can promise you.”
Since the concerns of the PFA, it has been reported, after constructive talks with Chelsea, that they are now satisfied with the treatment by Londoners west of Disasi and Sterling (Talksport).
The latter endured a mediocre spell on loan in Arsenal last season and failed to convince the team of Mikel Arteta to sign it permanently, when we think that Disasi had offers to leave Chelsea before September 1 but did not take them.
The Frenchman rejected the moves to West Ham, Bournemouth and Sunderland – taking a return to Monaco which has never materialized (BBC) – while the reports of a potential transfer to Saudi Arabia for Disasi have not gone so far with their still open window.
Chelsea was also leaning to terminate the Sterling contract and get rid of his salary of £ 325,000 per week, but according to Givemesport, the club tries to give it and diverted a good chance of leaving in January.
Chelsea’s gift in Sterling and Disasi to give them the “best chance” to move
According to Givemesport and journalist Ben Jacobs, Disasi and Sterling received a gift from Chelsea to give them the “best chance” to leave in January, or to fail this next summer.
Jacobs reports that Chelsea “supports” Disasi and Sterling with a personal training regime to maintain their sharpness while they are looking for the contenders of 2026, with the controversial publication of the controversial social media of the latter and not a reflection on the current situation.
Although the PFA is satisfied for the moment, after discussions with the Blues, they will continue to monitor their situations while keeping an eye on potential harms.
Sterling’s preference is to stay in London, making the transfer for the front complicated to secure, because it seriously limits its options. A move to the Middle East for one or the other appears from the table, so the notoriously difficult winter window is now their best bet to leave as soon as possible.
