Representatives for Chelsea winger, Raheem Sterling, has hit out at manager Enzo Maresca for dropping the player against Manchester City. Sterling is not in the starting XI or on the bench as the Blues face his former employers. Maresca has picked a front three of Cole Palmer, Nicolas Jackson and Christopher Nkunku.
In a statement released before the game, Sterling's reps said: ' Raheem Sterling 's representatives have released a statement about him being left out of Chelsea's matchday squad today - in an unusual twist. ' Raheem Sterling is contracted to Chelsea Football Club for the next three years,' it reads.
'He is committed, as ever, to delivering at the highest level for Chelsea FC and the fans, who he holds in high regard, and given his inclusion in official club pre-match material this week, our expectation was that Raheem would be involved in this weekend’s fixture in some capacity. 'As a camp, we have always had positive dialogue with, and assurance from, Chelsea FC in relation to Raheem’s future at the club, so we look forward to gaining clarity on the situation.
