List of six key players to leave Chelsea ahead of next season

Enzo Maresca, the new Chelsea manager has left out six players from his US pre-season tour, amid uncertainty over their future.

Apart from the five players that had their international breaks extended and the injured Djordje Petrovic, at least 43 other players have been left out of the squad for varying reasons.

However, Romelu Lukaku, Kepa Arrizabalaga, Trevoh Chalobah, Cesare Casadei, David Datro Fofana and Malang Sarr are the players being left out of the tour amid speculation they could leave the London side permanently this summer.

Maresca travelled with 28 players, ahead of the Blues’ first game against Wrexham in California on Wednesday.

Chelsea will then play Celtic, Club America, Manchester City, before concluding the tour against Real Madrid on August 7.
