Rosenior Eyes Sterling & Disasi Escape Route

New Chelsea head coach Liam Rosenior is set to hold discussions with Raheem Sterling and Axel Disasi regarding their futures at the club. Both players, acquired for significant fees, are currently training apart from the main squad and remain transfer-listed. Rosenior acknowledged Sterling's distinguished career and his personal admiration for Disasi, indicating that conversations with both players and the club hierarchy are a priority.

Sterling has been excluded from senior training since the summer, following former manager Enzo Maresca's plans. The winger, who joined in 2022, has two years remaining on a contract exceeding £300,000 weekly. He previously rejected loan offers from multiple clubs, including Napoli and Bayern Munich, preferring a move closer to his children. His situation highlights uncertainty, similar to the previous summer's last-minute loan to Arsenal.

Rosenior emphasized his immediate focus on assessing the current squad before considering new signings. He believes potential solutions may lie within the existing players, citing positive surprises from recent matches. Decisions regarding player futures and potential incomings will be made later in the week after he has had the opportunity to evaluate the entire team.
