Trevoh Chalobah looks certain to leave Chelsea this summer after being told to stay at home and miss the club’s pre-season tour of America.
The 25-year-old has been at Chelsea since the age of eight, although has spent three loan spells with Ipswich, Huddersfield Town and Lorient.
He may well have played his final game for the Blues, though, having been axed from the squad for the pre-season trip.
Fabrizio Romano reports that Chalobah was instructed not to travel with the rest of the squad as Chelsea have the likes of Wesley Fofana, Axel Disasi, Tosin Adarabioyo at centre-back and feel they have no need for him.
Enzo Maresca’s squad have a busy schedule ahead of them in the States, taking on Wrexham, Celtic, Club America, Manchester City and Real Madrid from 25 July to 7 August.
Chalobah will not be a part of any of it, though, and with 80 appearances for his boyhood club he may have played his last.
The defender looked very likely to leave last summer, with the likes of Tottenham and Bayern Munich thought to be interested in signing him.
However, he remained at Stamford Bridge and went on to make 17 appearances in all competitions under Mauricio Pochettino.
The England Under-21 international still has four years to run on the contract he signed in 2022, but Chelsea would certainly like to cash in on him this summer if possible, with his chances of regular game time extremely lengthy.
