Chelsea will face Bournemouth in a Premier League clash tonight, but Axel Disasi will not feature in the squad, as confirmed by Fabrizio Romano. The French defender, who joined Chelsea in the summer, is actively pursuing a move away from the club to secure regular playing time. Despite making 16 appearances across all competitions this season, Disasi has struggled to establish himself in Chelsea's best XI and has been overshadowed by the emergence of 18-year-old Josh Acheampong. Clubs are reportedly in discussions about a potential transfer, with Juventus dropping out but other suitors still interested.
- Disasi Omitted: Axel Disasi will not be included in the squad for Chelsea’s match against Bournemouth, further fueling speculation about his January exit.
- Limited Role: Disasi has only started in five Premier League games this season and has been unable to secure a consistent spot in the lineup.
- Emerging Talent: The rise of young defender Josh Acheampong has pushed Disasi further down the pecking order at Stamford Bridge.
- Transfer Talks Ongoing: While Juventus are no longer pursuing Disasi, Chelsea are in discussions with other clubs about a permanent transfer for the versatile defender.
- Squad Depth Considerations: With multiple players, including Renato Veiga, linked to exits, Chelsea's squad depth and defensive options may be reshaped during the transfer window.
