Sterling left out of Chelsea squad again

Raheem Sterling has been left out of Chelsea's squad for the first leg of their Europa Conference League play-off with Servette.

It is the second game in succession the 29-year-old England forward has not featured in a matchday squad, after he was omitted from Chelsea's Premier League opener with Manchester City.

Defenders Ben Chilwell, Wesley Fofana and Tosin Adarabioyo were also not included on Chelsea's A-list submitted to Uefa for Thursday's match at Stamford Bridge.

Sterling's representatives said in a statement before Sunday's defeat by City they wanted "clarity" over the player's future at the club.
