EKO HOT BLOG reports that Sterling, 29, was also absent from Chelsea’s squad in their recent 2-0 loss to Manchester City on Sunday, August 18. His exclusion has raised questions about his future at the club, especially after his representatives called for “clarity” regarding his role.
Since his £50 million move from Manchester City to Chelsea in July 2022, Sterling has made 81 appearances for the West London club.
However, his recent omissions have sparked speculation about his standing under Maresca’s management.
In addition to Sterling, defenders Ben Chilwell, Wesley Fofana, and Tosin Adarabioyo were also excluded from Chelsea’s squad for the Conference League match at Stamford Bridge.
