Raheem Sterling is no longer even being treated as a Chelsea player. His uniform number disappeared and he was even notified of his release.
Chelsea will play Cervette FC at Stamford Bridge in London on the 23rd (Korea time) in the final playoff of the UEFA Europa Conference League in 2024-2025 season.
All eyes on Chelsea ahead of this match are on Raheem Sterling and Enzo Maresca. In the first round of the English Premier League (EPL) in 2024-2025 against Manchester City on the 19th, new coach Maresca Chelsea excluded Sterling from the list of games at all.
Maresca said "It's just a tactical decision. There is nothing more to say. The director is paid to make a decision. Sometimes players may not like the decisionput forth the position that " However, Sterling immediately released a statement after confirming that he had been excluded from the list of matches and attempted to play the media.

Sterling said "The player returned to England two weeks early to proceed with individual training and had a positive pre-season under the new manager. I have developed a good cooperative relationship with director MarescaSterling was training hard and getting along well with Maresca, but he was surprised to miss the list of games against Manchester City.
Considering that Sterling was included in the pre-match data officially made by Chelsea this week, it was expected that Sterling would participate in the match against Manchester City. We have always had positive confidence in Sterling's future at Chelsea, so we expect things to be clear," he said, turning coach Maresca and pressing him. It was a nuance as if he would declare that he would leave the team immediately if Sterling was not in coach Maresca's plan.
As a result, Sterling's press play only brought worse results to himself. Chelsea and Maresca eventually settled on Sterling. Chelsea have announced a list of Swiss side Servette and UEFA Europa Conference League final play-off matches without Sterling's name. It has become clearer that coach Maresca does not plan to use Sterling.

England's The Athletic said on the 20th that Joao Felix's joining in Chelsea is not good news for Sterling. Chelsea are trying to find a solution to Sterling and Ben Chilwell's situation. Maresca ruled out both players against Manchester City. The two players are highly paid and Chelsea are ready to sell them, he said.
Maresca made his position clear during a press conference ahead of the match against Cervette. He said "I'm just trying to be honest. I told Sterling that he would have a hard time spending time with us. Chilwell will also be difficult here"Stirling said directly that he was not in his plan.

In addition "Sterling won't have time to play here to be honest. I'm not saying Sterling isn't a good player, I prefer different styles of wingers. It's a simple question. Now Sterling and Chilwell are training separately. The situation of the two players is clear. "If they want time to play, they'd better leave." he said, adding to the issue of Sterling's appointment.
Chelsea also made a fierce decision. After officially announcing the signing of Felix, Chelsea also announced the change of squad number. Chelsea said Pedro Netu will change the number 19 he wore against Manchester City to number 7 for the rest of this season.

The main character of number seven was originally Sterling. Sterling, who was wearing No. 7, did not write what jersey number he was playing with. Until last season, Sterling, who played in Chelsea with No. 7, has been completely deleted.
Sterling and Chilwell are currently training separately from the first-team squad, and it is understood that Sterling does not even go to work at Chelsea at all.
Journalist Gary Jacob, who works for The Times in England, said: `Sterling has been training away from Chelsea's training ground since Friday after being told by Maresca that he is not included in this season's plans. He is training at home. While he was training at home, there was a mutual agreement to spend time away from the Chelsea training ground. Sterling is trying to resolve the situation.'

Journalist Jacob added: "Chelsea want to sell Sterling, who joined Manchester City two years ago for 50 million pounds (W87.3 billion), and Sterling would also prefer a permanent move to a club that can provide regular playing time," he added.
Sterling scored 123 goals in the EPL alone and is currently receiving Chelsea's highest salary of £16.9 million (about W29.5 billion), but his jersey number disappeared overnight and was excluded from the club's plan. Sterling's future is expected to be decided within the transfer window.
