Chelsea's new manager Enzo Maresca said he did not include Raheem Sterling and Chilwell in his plans just before the 2024-2025 season began. At the time, Maresca 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"I will not use Chilwell in future games."
It would have been a shocking notice for Chilwell, a former England international. In the 2023-2024 season alone, Chilwell was Chelsea's vice-captain. Of course, it's true that he didn't show a performance like a vice-captain. Since moving from Leicester City to Chelsea, Chilwell has paid for his meal only in the 2020-2021 season.
After a cruciate ligament rupture injury suffered during the 2021-2022 season, Chilwell was reduced to a serious glass body due to hamstring and knee problems. He has missed dozens of games in the last two seasons with injuries alone.
When Maresca left him out of the plan, Sterling found a way to live and went on loan to Arsenal. Chilwell also tried to transfer, but it failed in the end. Rumors of a transfer to Turkiye came out after the European big league transfer market, but it seems to have been canceled.
The British Telegraph reported on the 13th (Korea time) 'Chillwell is not expected to transfer on loan. Chelsea have been open to Chilwell's loan but with the end of the Turkiye transfer window, Chilwell will remain at Chelsea until at least January, it said.

Analysts say Chilwell could be included in the EPL squad list if Chelsea left-back Marc Cucurella or Levi Colwill, who can play as a backup, is injured. In addition, if Chilwell does not continue to play until January next year, it may be more difficult to receive a transfer offer, so he may even be included in the league list for now to preserve the value of the player.
Still, Chilwell may be included.
The Telegraph said it was unclear whether Chilwell, considered a homegrown player, would return to first-team training even if he was included in Chelsea's EPL squad. Chilwell explained that he was surprised to be left out of Chelsea's Europa Conference League squad, but would not be disappointed further if he was included in the 25-man EPL squad.
