Raheem Sterling will not play for Chelsea in their Premier League opener against Manchester City, despite initial expectations based on pre-match materials. A spokesperson for Sterling released a statement expressing his commitment to the club and his desire to perform at the highest level for Chelsea and its fans.
The winger’s exclusion from the squad was due to “positive dialogue” between Sterling’s representatives and Chelsea, who have assured them of his future at the club. Reports suggest that Juventus and other clubs have shown interest in Sterling, who turns 30 in December, and other players may also be in similar situations under Chelsea’s new coach, Enzo Moresca. The spokesperson emphasized that they will seek clarity on Sterling’s situation at the club.
