Raheem Sterling is reportedly among nine Chelsea players excluded from the club’s official website ahead of the 2025–26 season.
According to The Mirror, profiles and photos for Sterling and eight other players have been removed from the senior squad section, signaling their likely departure from Stamford Bridge.
Sterling, who joined Chelsea from Manchester City in 2022, has struggled to meet expectations. Over two seasons, he scored 19 goals and provided 15 assists before being loaned to Arsenal. His omission from the website suggests he is no longer part of Chelsea’s future plans.
Other notable exclusions include Noni Madueke, Joao Felix, and Kepa Arrizabalaga—players who have already left the club this summer. More departures are anticipated before the transfer window closes.
Lesley Ugochukwu and Armando Broja, both close to moves to Burnley, are also absent from the squad list, as is academy graduate Alfie Gilchrist, who spent last season on loan at Sheffield United.
Ben Chilwell, signed from Leicester City in a £45 million deal in 2020 but recently fallen out of favour under new manager Enzo Maresca, is another significant name missing from the website.
Other players not listed include David Datro Fofana, Carney Chukwuemeka, Renato Veiga, and Axel Disasi. Several of these players, including 21-year-old Gilchrist, are reportedly attracting interest from Saudi Arabian and Championship clubs.
Chelsea are eager to trim their bloated squad by offloading surplus players ahead of the new season.
The Blues returned to training on Monday, fresh from their FIFA Club World Cup final victory over Paris Saint-Germain, as they prepare to compete for major honours this campaign.
