According to the British media Daily Mail, after the summer window was closed, Chelsea established a new three-person "bomb squad" lineup. The members to be cleaned are Sterling, with a weekly salary of 325,000 pounds, and the other two are Diessey and David Fofana.
Chelsea has made frequent moves this summer, and while introducing 10 new players, more than 20 people left the team. This practice has resulted in redundant players being placed on the club's transfer list almost at will and often training alone away from the first team.
This summer, Chelsea cleaned up a large number of members of the so-called "bomb squad", including Chilville, Gilchrist, Ugochuku, etc., all of whom switched to new clubs to seek game time, but the situation of Sterling and others was different.
Sterling has been struggling since joining Chelsea for 50 million pounds in 2022. Now that he has two years left on his contract, Chelsea still has to pay him a salary of 30 million pounds, which puts the club and players at a crossroads.
Disasi, who loaned Villa last season, had an affair with Bournemouth this summer, but ultimately failed to leave the team. David Fofana's transfer to Charlton also failed. At present, the three will not have a chance to play until at least January's winter window.
Last month, Di Sasi posted photos on social media, allowing fans to peek into the lives of Chelsea's "Bomb Squad" players. In the photo, several players waiting to be cleaned are crowded in a small temporary locker room, sharing wooden benches, which is comparable to the amateur team configuration.
