Chelsea manager Enzo Maresca has made some surprising changes to his squad ahead of their UEFA Conference League match against Servette on Thursday.
Four players have been dropped from the team, including Raheem Sterling, Ben Chilwell, Wesley Fofana, and Tosin Adarabioyo.
Notably, Sterling and Chilwell were also absent from the squad that faced Manchester City in the Premier League opener on Sunday. The two England players are rumored to be leaving Stamford Bridge this summer, sparking speculation about their future at the club.
Meanwhile, Adarabioyo, who joined Chelsea on a free transfer from Fulham this summer, was an unused substitute against City, while Fofana played the full 90 minutes. Their exclusion from the squad to face Servette has raised eyebrows.
Maresca’s men face Servette on Thursday night, with the return leg scheduled for August 29 in Switzerland. The winners of the tie will progress to the group stages of the competition, making this a crucial match for Chelsea’s European ambitions.
