Chelsea have announced the list of players who are left out of Chelsea\u2019s squad for the upcoming Club World Cup 2025. The new competition brings a lot of energy to the teams and Chelsea after winning Europa Conference League is also been named in one of the groups.<\/p>\n
Chelsea\u2019s 28-man squad for the upcoming FIFA Club World Cup in the USA was officially revealed on June\u202f11, 2025. Following their UEFA Conference League triumph, the Blues are set to compete in Group D\u2014alongside LA\u202fFC (Mexico), Flamengo (Brazil), and ES\u202fTunis (Tunisia).<\/p>\n
However, the announcement was met with controversy as eight notable players were left out:<\/p>\n
Jo\u00e3o F\u00e9lix<\/p>\n
Djordje Petrovic<\/p>\n
Axel Disasi<\/p>\n
Raheem Sterling<\/p>\n
Ben Chilwell<\/p>\n
Kendry Paez<\/p>\n
Renato Veiga<\/p>\n
Wesley Fofana (excluded due to hamstring injury)<\/p>\n
\u00a0<\/p>\n
For many of those left out, especially F\u00e9lix, Sterling, Petrovic, Disasi, and Chilwell, this exclusion appears to be more than a tournament decision; it\u2019s a clear signal of summer exits being planned. Moreso, Chelsea\u2019s focus is shifting toward youth, rejuvenation, and financial pragmatism as they look to reshape the squad after a mixed season.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
