Trevoh Chalobah Speaks Out After Being Cut from Chelsea’s Pre-Season Tour Squad
The drama at Stamford Bridge has only just begun, folks! Trevoh Chalobah has finally broken his silence after being axed from Chelsea’s pre-season tour squad, and it’s clear he’s not happy about it.
For those who may have missed it, Chalobah, one of the few Chelsea academy graduates to make it to the first team, was surprisingly left out of the squad that flew to the United States earlier this week. Despite nailing down a spot in the starting XI towards the end of last season, new Chelsea boss Enzo Maresca has deemed him surplus to requirements.
Chalobah’s social media post hints at frustration and disappointment, as he posted a cryptic message on his Instagram story: "A prayer for the new week: Dear God, thank you for opening my eyes to see another week… As I step into his new week, give me strength when I feel tired… Help me to focus on you and not on any problems that I face." Yikes, it seems like the defender is seeking guidance and support in this tough time.
So, what’s behind Chelsea’s decision to axe Chalobah? According to reports, the 25-year-old is now fourth in the pecking order for the right-sided centre-back role, behind Wesley Fofana, Axel Disasi, and Tosin Adarabioyo. Meanwhile, Fabrizio Romano claims Chelsea are willing to sanction the sale of Chalobah, who had previously turned down opportunities to leave.
Nottingham Forest and Tottenham had both attempted to sign the defender last summer, but Chalobah opted to stay at Stamford Bridge. Now, it seems like the time has come for him to leave.
As Chalobah’s contract runs until June 2028, Chelsea should be able to command a decent fee for the defender if he’s willing to move on. We’re keeping a close eye on this story, folks! Follow us on all social media platforms for more updates!
