One Chelsea player has been left gutted after what has transpired regarding his future at the club.
Trevoh Chalobah has not been included in the squad to travel to the United States, with their first friendly set to take place in the coming hours.
There is an appetite for the club to sell Chalobah this summer, and they believe the method they have taken is the best possible way of doing so.
Supporters were left frustrated at the decision made, with some even believing that the club are beginning to lose their identity when it comes to shipping off their acadamy graduates.
This is despite the fact the club captain is Reece James, and Levi Colwill looks set to play an important role under Enzo Maresca next season.
Chelsea leaders cite Colwill as elite talent
According to The Athletic, the leaders at Chelsea disagree with the opinion that they are just willing to let players leave because they are from the academy, and actually cite Colwill as a player who has earned his place in the first team.
It was reported earlier this summer that Liverpool were really keen on signing the England international, however they were yet to recieve any indication from the Blues that they were willing to part ways with him under any circumstances.
Colwill singled out for praise by Enzo Maresca
Colwill has already been singled out for praise by Maresca in training since the Italian took over, and will be hoping his immediate future is more of a centre-back then where Mauricio Pochettino played him a lot at left-back.
He will be competing with Benoit Badiashile for minutes on that side, and will feel confident that he can have somewhat of a real breakout season as one of the better defenders in the Premier League.
Another centre-back who will be hoping to achieve this is Wesley Fofana, who is currently unscathed after his serious knee injury ruled him out of all of last season.
