Rio Ferdinand has criticized Chelsea’s handling of Raheem Sterling’s situation, calling it “wild” and lacking clarity. Sterling, who was unexpectedly dropped for Chelsea’s 2-0 Premier League defeat to Manchester City, is reportedly seen as surplus to requirements following the arrival of Pedro Neto.
Ferdinand expressed frustration over the lack of clear communication from Chelsea’s management regarding Sterling’s status. On his show, *Rio Ferdinand Presents*, he revealed that Sterling has not been properly informed about his standing at the club. Ferdinand noted that Sterling has not received any direct communication from the club’s hierarchy, with updates reportedly being delivered through impersonal channels like email.
Ferdinand’s comments reflect concerns about how Chelsea has managed the situation, highlighting the lack of transparency and direct communication with the player. This criticism comes as Sterling faces uncertainty about his future at Stamford Bridge, contributing to a sense of disarray regarding his role in the squad.
