Chelsea midfielder Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall has revealed that the club’s players are doing their best to ignore the speculation and uncertainty surrounding the squad.
This summer has been another big change at Stamford Bridge, with the appointment of a new manager and ten new arrivals. The first team squad has increased to over 40 players, with Raheem Sterling and vice-captain Ben Chilwell are among those who have said they may leave.
Manager Enzo Maresca has admitted that up to 15 players, which also include Romelu Lukaku and Kepa Arrizabalaga, are training away from the main group as they await transfers. Chelsea have also been criticized for the way they have been valuable players, homegrown players like Conor Gallagher. pushed towards the exit because of the greater financial boost offered by selling them.
It remains unclear who will be at Stamford Bridge once the transfer window closes, while the Blues continue to be linked with further potential signings.
“We’re in a bubble with it,” Dewsbury-Hall said of how the current team is handling things.
“You can’t let that affect you. All we’re doing is going out every day and training as hard as we can, getting ready for the games. Whatever happens out there, it’s not up to us. Probably when the transfer period, you can only focus on the season.
Dewsbury-Hall was speaking earlier on Thursday night UEFA Conference League play-off first leg against the Swiss Servette. Far from a polished performance at Stamford Bridge, but a 2-0 win should calm the nerves of Maresca and the players involved.
