Raheem Sterling has been excluded from Chelsea's squad for the second consecutive game, raising questions about his future at the club. Despite a strong pre-season, the winger was left out of the Europa Conference League play-off against Servette and the Premier League opener against Manchester City. Sterling's camp has called for clarity on his situation, emphasizing his commitment to Chelsea. Chelsea manager Enzo Maresca cited tactical reasons for the decision but did not rule out the possibility of Sterling leaving, given the squad's size of 43 players. Maresca has also requested patience from fans as he navigates this transitional period for the team, which includes several new signings.
