In a surprising move, Chelsea Football Club has removed Raheem Sterling from their official squad list on the club's website. The decision has sent shockwaves through the football community, raising questions about the England international's future at Stamford Bridge.
What Does This Mean for Sterling?
The 29-year-old winger, who joined Chelsea from Manchester City in 2022, has been a key player for the Blues. However, his omission from the squad list suggests a potential shift in the club's plans under new manager Enzo Maresca.
Sources close to the club suggest this could be:
- A technical error on the website
- A sign of an impending transfer
- Part of squad restructuring for the new season
Chelsea's Summer Overhaul Continues
This development comes as Chelsea continues their aggressive squad restructuring. The club has already:
- Signed several high-profile players
- Parted ways with multiple first-team members
- Implemented a new tactical approach
Sterling's situation will be one to watch as the summer transfer window progresses. The former Liverpool star has attracted interest from clubs in England and abroad, though Chelsea have yet to make any official statement regarding his status.
