Disasi's Chelsea Comeback: A New Era Under Rosenior?

Chelsea defender Axel Disasi has been offered a lifeline by new manager Liam Rosenior, returning to first-team training after nearly a year in exile. Disasi had been training in isolation since January 20, 2025, following a failed loan spell and a lack of permanent move opportunities.

Rosenior confirmed face-to-face talks with the French international, emphasizing a 'clean slate for everybody.' While Disasi's reintegration offers a potential boost, he faces a significant period to regain match fitness. This development occurs amidst a defensive injury crisis, with Tosin Adarabioyo ruled out for several weeks due to a hamstring issue.

Separately, Raheem Sterling remains outside the main squad, with Chelsea actively seeking a transfer before the January transfer window concludes. The club is prioritizing finding Sterling a permanent exit.
