Chelsea are potentially in some hot water after replications of treatment of players have come out this week.
The Blues will of course argue their defence and are cooperating with all involved with this story, but it’s a story that has often made the headlines in the last weeks, months, and even years.
What Chelsea do when they want to sell players and said players have not place in the squad or not plans to be included in the first team at all, they will put them in the ‘bomb squad’ and make them basically do everything in their own separate small group away from the first team, or even alone.
They then have to use all different facilities to the first team group and eat and change away from them. When that bomb squad is small, like it is now with just Raheem Sterling and Axel Disasi in it, then these players seemingly are finding themselves very isolated and are even training alone.
Chelsea clearly do this to make sure that players who are leaving eventually do not create any issues with moral in the first team squad. But there is a human aspect to this that is being pulled up on and the way they treat players now being questioned.

The BBC report that The Professional Footballers’ Association is in talks with Chelsea over the handling of squad outcasts Raheem Sterling and Axel Disasi.
World football’s governing body Fifa has strict regulations over players who are isolated from squads in circumstances that could constitute ‘abusive conduct’ by the club, which may entitle an individual to terminate his contract citing ‘just cause’.
It is understood the PFA has sought to ensure clubs are aware of Fifa’s regulations.
According to sources at The BBC, Chelsea are working closely with the PFA and say they have presented Sterling with potential moves to Bayern Munich and Napoli over the summer but he wanted to stay in the South to be close to his family.
