Chelsea manager, Enzo Maresca, has said only 28 players out of the 43 on the club’s books are training with the first team.
Maresca, speaking to the media on Friday, said an oversized squad is “not good”.
Some of the players currently not working with the main team include Conor Gallagher, Romelu Lukaku and Kepa Arrizabalaga.
They are all being forced to train separately as Chelsea try to find solutions in the transfer market.
Maresca said: “At the moment if I start to think I have 43 players it is not a good thing, I have 28 training with me.”
He added: “Paul and Laurence are in charge of finding solutions for these guys not me.”
