Chelsea's Chilwell to Rejoin Training with First Team

Chelsea's Ben Chilwell, unable to secure a transfer, will return to first-team training as announced by manager Enzo Maresca. Chilwell, sidelined by injuries, struggled for a regular spot since joining in 2020. Other high-profile player Raheem Sterling moved to Arsenal on loan.

Chelsea's Ben Chilwell, after failing to find a new club during the transfer window, will rejoin first-team training, manager Enzo Maresca confirmed Friday. Chilwell and Raheem Sterling were initially sidelined by the new manager.

While Sterling secured a loan move to Arsenal, Chilwell, who joined Chelsea in 2020 for £50 million, has yet to feature this season. Maresca indicated the club plans to figure out Chilwell's future.

Chilwell has faced numerous injuries, limiting his game time and impacting his position within the squad. Chelsea's young team has had a mixed start to the season, but Maresca remains optimistic about their progress.
