"Chelsea owners BlueCo moved Liam Rosenior to Stamford Bridge from Strasbourg, installing the former Hull City boss as the successor to Enzo Maresca. Rosenior signed a long-term deal but must move quickly to address Chelsea's shortcomings if the Blues are to make a success of the 2025-26 season. With a number of clubs and managers willing to loan or even freeze players out, changes at the top theoretically offer those same players a path back to the first team."
"Wembley-raised England winger Raheem Sterling joined Chelsea from Manchester City in 2022 but has been unable to settle at the club, making just 59 appearances in the Premier League. Sterling, who ranked at no.88 in FourFourTwo's list of the greatest Premier League players of all time, spent last season on loan at Arsenal without leaving a dent. He is now training away from Chelsea and his teammates."
"Raheem's had an outstanding career. I've got huge respect for him. Axel is someone I've really, really liked as a player for a long time. Honestly, I have to have a conversation with them. I have to have a conversation with the club. I'm being genuinely honest. I literally have got to work through a list of priorities. I will do in the next few days."
Liam Rosenior has been appointed Chelsea head coach after BlueCo moved him from Strasbourg, succeeding Enzo Maresca on a long-term contract. He faces the immediate task of addressing squad shortcomings to make the 2025-26 season a success. Several players displaced under previous management, including Raheem Sterling and Axel Disasi, currently train away from the first team or have been on loan. Sterling made 59 Premier League appearances for Chelsea since joining from Manchester City in 2022 and spent last season on loan at Arsenal. Rosenior has said he will hold conversations with those players and the club while prioritising actions over the next few days.
