Enzo Maresca reveals two Chelsea stars have been relegated to the 20-man BOMB SQUAD and banished from the first team as Blues look to balance the books with summer exits

Raheem Sterling and Ben Chilwell are the latest Chelsea stars to be forced to train away from the first team with head coach Enzo Maresca insisting on Wednesday afternoon he is 'not brutal' for his ever-enlarging bomb squad.

Maresca added in a stern press conference he does ‘not care’ if a player is tied down by a 20-year deal because he will axe him if he believes it is best. The sidelining of Sterling, 29, and Chilwell, 27, means Chelsea now have more than 10 members that make up a Blues bomb squad who could leave this summer.
