Chelsea has kicked out Sterling and two other players: Maresca explained the decision.
Situation with Chelsea players
According to The Sun: Raheem Sterling and his Chelsea teammates received a distressing message: their return to the first team is no longer possible.
Sterling, Axel Disasi and David Datro Fofana, who together cost £97 million, are training separately from the team, eating alone and even having their own toilet.

Chelsea coach Enzo Maresca noted:
“They are Chelsea players, but they are still training separately. I haven't seen them since the start of the season. They are training on another pitch at another time.”
When asked if the trio has a chance to return to the first team, Maresca answered without hesitation:
“No.”
Cole Palmer returned to training on Thursday, but his participation in the match against Brentford remains in question.
Mareska added:
“Cole participated in training for the first time, but not in all parts. He is recovering from an injury, and it’s not about managing him. When he is ready, then we will need to manage his load.”
The club has a preliminary agreement to sign Dutch striker Emanuel Emegha, 22, next year on a seven-year contract with sister club Strasbourg.
Former England international Sterling spent last season on loan at Arsenal, but could not make an impact, scoring just one goal and providing five assists.

This situation at Chelsea raises concerns, as players with great potential are forced to train separately. So far, the uncertainty concerns not only their return to the first team but also the overall strategy of the club in achieving success this season. It is essential to observe how this will affect Chelsea's results in future games.
