Hint at a transfer? Alonso leaves three Chelsea players out of squad for clash with Real Sociedad
Chelsea have left Nicolas Jackson, Liam Delap, and Tosin Adarabioyo out of the squad for today's match against Real Sociedad. According to Fabrizio Romano, all three could still depart the London club before the current transfer window closes.
The absence of these players from the lineup is likely linked to their uncertain future at Stamford Bridge. The Blues' management continues to reshape the squad, leaving several players at risk of a move before the transfer window slams shut.
Meanwhile, Enzo Fernandez has returned to the squad. The Argentine midfielder only just finished his vacation and started today on the bench. However, his comeback to Stamford Bridge was marred by the reaction from some of the supporters.
When the stadium announcer read out Fernandez’s name before the match, some fans greeted the midfielder with boos, as reported by journalist Simon Johnson.
So today, Chelsea are without three players whose futures remain up in the air, while Fernandez is included in the squad for the first time since returning from holiday. Notably, rumors still link him with a move to Manchester City.
