Raheem Sterling and Axel Disasi aren’t always training on their own at Chelsea according to Sky Sports reporter Kaveh Solehkol.
Chelsea tried all summer to sell both Sterling and Disasi, but despite interest from several clubs the duo ended up remaining at Stamford Bridge.
They are now the only remaining members of the infamous “bomb squad” after David Datro Fofana completed a loan moan to Turkish side Fatih Karagümrük.
Raheem Sterling and Axel Disasi not always training on their own
Sterling and Disasi train away from the first team on a separate pitch, but Chelsea have provided them with coaches and a training plan.
There had been reports the PFA were looking into Chelsea’s treatment of Sterling and Disasi, and will be keeping a close eye on the situation.
Chelsea didn’t receive any offers for Sterling on deadline day, whilst Disasi reportedly turned down loan moves to three Premier League clubs.
Simon Jordan has accused Sterling of caring more about money than playing football, whilst Enzo Maresca has confirmed there’s no way back for the duo.
Sky Sports reporter Solhekol has provided an update on the situation surrounding Sterling and Disasi, and revealed they don’t always train on their own.
He took to X.com and said:
“Raheem Sterling and Axel Disasi are not always training on their own at Chelsea.
“They also now train with a younger group of players when possible. Sterling posted a picture on social media this week of a night-time training session, but that is something that happens very rarely.
“Multiple groups of players train at different times at Chelsea’s Cobham training ground and for scheduling reasons, that was an evening session.
“It is in everyone’s interest for the players to be in top condition so it will be easier for them to move to new clubs when the window opens again in January.
Chelsea duo not training with the first team
Solhekol went on to explain Sterling and Disasi weren’t training with the first team because the sole focus is to prepare for games.
“They are not training with the first-team squad because the sole focus of the first team is to prepare for games.
“It would make no sense for players who are not going to play for the first team to take part in those training sessions.
“The young players Sterling and Disasi train with are some of the best young players in the game and they benefit from working with experienced international players.”
