Today at 12:08 PM
Chelsea left-back Ben Chilwell has taken to social media to send a message to former teammate Mason Mount after Enzo Maresca reiterated the club are looking to sell him.
Speaking in his pre-match press conference ahead of Chelsea’s FA Cup with Morecambe, Maresca once again confirmed the 28-year-old had no future at the club.
The Italian said: "Chilwell is thinking he's going to leave, it's better to avoid using him to avoid injury. "Cesare will not be in the squad, same situation as Chilwell. It's best in this moment not to allow him to play in case there's opportunity for him to leave."
Chillwell was a member of Chelsea’s ‘bomb squad’ during the summer, alongside Raheem Sterling and Carney Chukwuemeka, but ultimately failed to secure a move.
