To address the bloated squad, Maresca initiated a “big clear-out” at Chelsea upon his arrival, with several players including Sterling and Chilwell listed for departure and also suspended from first-team training. However, this situation has recently eased.
According to The Mirror, two young players, Chukwuemeka and Casadei, have both been restored to first-team training. Both were previously expelled from the first team, and based on Maresca’s earlier statements, any player who was “exiled” would not be allowed to return to first-team training. However, the return of these two players suggests that Maresca’s policy may have softened.
Since Boli joined Chelsea, the club has spent over £1 billion on new signings. Before the start of the season, Chelsea had a super list of over 40 players. However, the arrival of Maresca led to many previously favored stars falling out of favor, such as Sterling who has already left the club, and Chilwell who is looking for a new team.
However, The Mirror also notes that while Chukwuemeka and Casadei have returned to the first team, they remain on Maresca’s watchlist, and if they fall out of favor again, they could face the prospect of not playing for the entire season.
