Chelsea defender Di Sasi recently posted photos on social media to show fans the locker room environment of the abandoned players.

The French player was loaned to Aston Villa in the second half of last season and is currently not in Maresca's plan. He is one of several players who have been excluded from first-team training and are waiting for future resolution. On Friday night, DiSassi posted a set of pre-season training photos on Instagram, with the caption simply saying: "Life."

One of the photos rarely shows the so-called "bomb squad" rest area, a simple small room with wooden benches, two windows and wall-mounted air conditioning. This space without luxury is more like an amateur team configuration, far from the usual luxury environment of Chelsea stars. The name tags above the bench are marked with the names of Chilville, Chuk Umeka, Ugochuku (transferred to Burnley) and DiSassi, which clearly define the users of the area. What's more striking is Gilchrist, who is sitting in the corner in the photo with his head in his arms.

The 21-year-old youth training player made his debut under Pochettino in 2023. He was loaned to Sheffield United last season but was not bought out. A total of 43 players have reported for Chelsea's pre-season training camp this season, and some of them have now left the team.

Sterling is one of nine players Chelsea hopes to clear before the summer window is closed, the winger who was disappointing on loan last season and still has two years of a weekly salary of £325,000.

The Daily Telegraph said that both players and clubs tend to be permanent solutions, but it is also possible to re-loan. Chelsea is busy operating Nkunku, Jackson, DiSassi, Chuk Umeka, Chilville and transfers or loans that may include Tyrik George in the next two weeks.

Argentine defender An Sermino also received attention from European clubs. Chelsea expects to earn about £300 million through player sales when closing the window, bringing net expenditures to close.
