Reports have now confirmed that a total of three top Chelsea players have been dropped from the first team to the U-21 side ahead of the new season.
In a surprising turn of events, three Chelsea FC first team players (Armando Broja, Trevoh Chalobah, and Romelu Lukaku) have reportedly been banned from using the first-team facilities.
According to Fabrizio, the trio has been restricted to training with the U-21 squad until they secure moves away from the club. This significant and controversial decision by Chelsea’s management has raised questions about the players’ futures at Stamford Bridge.
Armando Broja transfer news
Despite his impressive performances last season, Albanian forward Armando Broja finds himself on the fringes of the squad. His exclusion from first-team facilities suggests that he may soon be leaving, as his playing style no longer fits into the plans of Chelsea’s new head coach.
Several clubs are rumoured to be interested in the young striker, and a move could provide him with the regular playing time needed for his continued development.
Trevoh Chalobah transfer update
Another player affected by the ban is versatile defender Trevoh Chalobah, who was once considered a key part of Chelsea’s future.
With his exclusion from the squad, it appears Chelsea is open to offers, with reports indicating the club is seeking a £30 million fee for him. Chalobah’s situation has attracted attention from top European clubs like Inter Milan and Bayern Munich, who are looking to bolster their defensive options.
Lukaku transfer news
The situation of Belgian striker Romelu Lukaku at Chelsea has been turbulent. After a disappointing return to the club in 2021 and a subsequent loan spell at Inter Milan, his future at Stamford Bridge seems uncertain.
His exclusion from the first-team facilities is a clear indication that Chelsea is ready to move on from him. Lukaku is expected to join Napoli soon, with reports suggesting that a three-year contract has already been agreed upon with the Italian club.
