Trevoh Chalobah feels he is being forced out of Chelsea against his will after being left out of the club’s pre-season tour and the defender is expected to assess his options before deciding whether to leave.
The 25-year-old was a surprise exclusion when the squad for the five-match tour of the United States was confirmed on Monday, and Chelsea are expected to step up attempts to sell him. But the former England Under-21 defender, who made 13 Premier League appearances last season after returning from a thigh injury, is understood to have been left shocked by his exclusion having started training under the new manager, Enzo Maresca.
