Chelsea’s new manager, Enzo Maresca, has advised left-back Ben Chilwell to leave the club, citing the player’s struggle to secure a place in the first team. Chilwell, 27, has faced recurring injuries and has been further marginalized by Chelsea’s recent influx of signings.
Maresca acknowledged Chilwell’s commitment but emphasized that his lack of playing time is detrimental to both the player and the team. The Italian manager suggested it would be better for Chilwell to find a new club where he can gain regular minutes. Maresca also revealed that Chelsea currently has over 40 players available for selection, which has complicated squad management.
He indicated that the roster needs to be trimmed before the transfer window closes, with several players, including Conor Gallagher, Romelu Lukaku, and Trevoh Chalobah, potentially on the move. Chelsea begins their 2024-25 Premier League campaign against Manchester City on Sunday, with the squad still in flux.
