Ben Chilwell is still ‘more than happy’ to play for Chelsea despite being banished from the first-team by Enzo Maresca. The left-back was one of over a dozen players, known as the ‘bomb-squad’, exiled by the new manager over the summer and told they had no future at the club. But while the likes of Raheem Sterling, Conor Gallagher and Romelu Lukaku were able to secure a transfer away, Chilwell is still at Stamford Bridge. There was never any serious interest in the England international thanks to his high wages, said to be £ 200,000 a week, and his injury history. #footballfanarena #ffa #chelsea #enzomaresca #romelulukaku #transferwindow #benchilwell #football

Enzo Maresca has banished Raheem Sterling and Ben Chilwell to Chelsea's 20-man "Bomb Squad," sidelining them from the first team as part of a major roster overhaul aimed at balancing the books. Maresca remains uncompromising, even ignoring long-term contracts if it suits his strategy. #football #fifa #sterling #raheemsterling #chelsea #chelseafc #cr7 #ronaldo #cristiano #chilwell #trend #footballfanarena #footballfansarena2024 #ffa

Chelsea manager Enzo Maresca has made his thoughts on Ben Chilwell brutally clear, saying it would be better for the England international to leave the club as he will be playing much for him this season. It has been another frantically busy transfer window for the Blues, with more deals still likely to be done in the coming days. Chilwell has fallen down the pecking order in his roles at left-back or left wing-back, not helped by the various injury problems he has suffered over his four years at Stamford Bridge. The 27-year-old signed for Chelsea from Leicester in 2020, but has only made 70 Premier League appearances over those four seasons, with just 13 in the last campaign. #footballfanarena #ffa #chelsea #enzomarescs #premierleague #trending #football

Enzo Maresca has hinted Ben Chilwell could leave Chelsea this summer after being linked with a shock move to Manchester United. Chilwell is said to face an uncertain future under new Stamford Bridge boss Maresca, who arrived from Leicester City earlier in the summer after Mauricio Pochettino’s departure. The 27-year-old has made more than 100 appearances for Chelsea since completing a £45m move from Leicester in 2020 but has struggled with injuries throughout his time in west London. #footballfanarena #ffa #manchesterunited #enzomaredca #chelsea #trending #football
