London, England – E be like say dis Chelsea manager Enzo Maresca don set one kind serious wahala for Raheem Sterling and Axel Disasi. Dem two players no go fit rejoin the squad any time soon, as dem still dey train for one side like say dem no fit chop with the big boys. (Omo, dem no fit show face!)
Last season, Sterling dey on loan for Arsenal, but e no too make any impact before dem send am back to Chelsea. His last game wey him play for Chelsea na against Bournemouth for May last year. E get plenty clubs from Italy, Germany, and even England wey come ask for am during di transfer window, but na here him remain. Na so e go carry him bag pack come back to training ground without anybody looking for am.
As for Disasi, di guy just dey waka small small after him loan stint at Aston Villa wey no too work out well. Maresca now don put am for “bomb squad” as well – no be joke oh! E no fit even get another loan or sell anywhere. (Na wah, wetin happen to friendship for football?)
Maresca talk say, “Dem be Chelsea players and dem get contracts with di club, but for now, dey dey train separate.” E come drop another bombshell when dem ask am if dem fit join di squad later. Him just clear dem say, “No.” Na wah!
On di brighter side, Maresca dey consider some young players wey sabi shine. Shim Mheuka, Ryan Kavuma-McQueen, and Reggie Walsh don dey catch di coach eye. Mheuka and Walsh don dey play with di senior team, while Kavuma-McQueen don score four goals for U-17s the other day. (Wetin dem chop wey dem dey perform so?)
Maresca go talk say, “I like all di academy guys, but Reggie na di one wey dey catch my eye pass.” E don dey shine so well say him dey do wetin no need Maresca to even tell am. E go gree shine even more because di coach like wetin he dey do. Dem all fit help di team as dem dey climb di ladder.
Maresca still get one small drama for training as e dey monitor di fitness of Cole Palmer, wey dey fight to come back from injury before di next match. Di guy miss di last two games due to injury, but na dia we go find out how dem go manage am as dem dey prepare for Brentford. (We sabi say injury dey serious, but we dey pray him fit bounce back check!)
Now, about dat Liam Delap wey injure for di last match, him dey expect to miss around 10-12 weeks, which mean say Chelsea go dey hang wit limited forward options. E no easy for dem as dis injury matter dey continue to pile up. Maresca don bring back Marc Guiu from loan, we fit see if di guy go fit shine as well.
Meanwhile, Chelsea done start di season well with two wins and one draw from di first three games. But as dem dey chop better football, di injury wahala dey catch dem for corner. With all dis injuries, fans dey wonder if academy boys like Mheuka go fit rise up to di occasion. (Omo, we dey reason say this na time to shine!)
