There has reportedly been some ‘mumblings of frustrations’ from some Chelsea players reacting to how some of their team mates have been treated by the club this summer.
There are as many as 18 players training in a separate group away from the first team group, which is about 24 strong.
At the moment, this group includes players like Ben Chilwell, Trevoh Chalobah, and now Raheem Sterling who will join them once he returns to Cobham.
The treatment of the above mentioned players as well as Conor Gallagher, has led to a lot of criticism from fans who do not like the way this has been handled.
Sterling set to leave
It appears that it isn’t just fans who don’t like the disrespect shown, some players have voiced concerns too.
That is according to our writer Simon Phillips in his latest transfer updates on Substack.
Phillips says:
“I’ve heard from a source that there has started to be some mumblings of frustrations about how some of the players have been treated in recent weeks. Remember, players become friends, and it’s never going to be easy seeing your friend treated in a way that you don’t like or agree with. And however you look at these situations and however much you want a player sold, I think there has at the very least been a lack of respect with how some of this has been handled. That kind of thing might be necessary, but there are certain ways of going about your business, and a lot of this has not sat well with me, and it hasn’t for a few players either. I’m not saying there is discontent in the camp or anything major like that, but there’s been some conversations and some just acknowledging that it’s not been great how some of it has been handled. There’s always a human aspect to these things.”
