According to reports, Raheem Sterling is one of nine Chelsea players who have been kicked off the team’s official website before the 2025-2026 campaign begins. The Mirror claims that Sterling and the other eight Blues players do not have a profile or photo on the senior section of the website.
After two seasons in which he scored 19 goals and supplied 15 assists before being sent to Arsenal on loan, Sterling has fallen short of expectations since his high-profile transfer from Manchester City to Chelsea in 2022.
Chelsea have already sold eight first-team players this summer, including Noni Madueke, Joao Felix, and Kepa Arrizabalaga, and many more are expected to depart before the transfer window ends.
By taking Sterling off the website, the Blues have made it clear that he has no future at Stamford Bridge and are eager to get go of several undesirable players, including him.
Also missing are Lesley Ugochukwu and Armando Broja, who are close to completing transfers to Burnley. Another player missing on the website is Alfie Gilchrist, an academy product who spent the previous season on loan with Sheffield United. It is thought that the 21-year-old defender is attracting interest from Saudi Arabian and Championship clubs.
Ben Chilwell, who will join Chelsea from Leicester City for more than £45 million in 2020, has also been excluded after being kept out by Enzo Maresca.
Axel Disasi, Renato Veiga, Carney Chukwuemeka, and David Datro Fofana are the other individuals that are not present.
Ahead of the upcoming season, Chelsea hopes to reduce the size of their bloated roster by releasing a few undesirable players.
The Blues, who want to contend for major honors this season, resumed training on Monday after defeating Paris Saint-Germain in the FIFA Club World Cup final.
