Chelsea Chaos: Three Stars Forced to Train with U21s, One Banned from First-Team Facilities
The transfer window is always a whirlwind of excitement and drama, and Chelsea’s 2024-2025 season is shaping up to be no exception. As the Blues gear up for their new campaign under Enzo Maresca, it’s become clear that not everyone is feeling the love.
Three Chelsea players – Trevoh Chalobah, Armando Broja, and Romelu Lukaku – have been forced to train with the club’s U21 team, according to a report by The Telegraph. And to make matters worse, Chalobah has been barred from using the first-team facilities at Cobham training base.
What’s going on behind the scenes at Stamford Bridge? Chalobah, in particular, has been linked with a move away from the club, with Aston Villa and Crystal Palace both rumored to be interested in the defender. With an asking price of £25 million, it’s clear that Chelsea are keen to cash in on the talented young star.
But Chalobah isn’t the only one feeling the heat. Broja and Lukaku, both experienced pros, are also stuck training with the U21s. What’s going on? Has the Chelsea hierarchy lost faith in these players? Or are they simply being kept in line while the club navigates a busy transfer window?
Speaking of which, Chelsea are closing in on a new signing, with Wolverhampton Wanderers star Pedro Neto set to join the Blues. The Portuguese winger has arrived in London and will undergo medical tests on Saturday before signing a contract until 2030.
With the season just around the corner, it’s clear that Chelsea are building a strong squad to challenge for major honors. But will Chalobah, Broja, and Lukaku be a part of the action? Only time will tell.
