Sterling stripped off shirt
Meanwhile, Raheem Sterling has been stripped of his number seven shirt at Chelsea. Sterling has been declared a persona non grata under Enzo Maresca's tenure.
The new Chelsea boss omitted the England international from the squad that faced Manchester City on Sunday.
After a trophy-laden spell with Manchester City, Sterling joined the West Londoners two years ago. He started with the number 17 shirt but moved to number 7 after N'Golo Kante left the club.
Uncertainty over Chukwuemeka
Legit.ng earlier reported that Chelsea will not release Carney Chukwuemeka on loan unless one particular condition is met.
The Stamford Bridge outfit declared in an official statement that the attacking midfielder will only be allowed to go on loan if a purchase obligation is included in the deal.
Chukwuemeka joined the London club from Aston Villa in the summer of 2022 in a deal worth around £20million.
