Axel Disasi (Chelsea)
Current season, ahead of the January transfer window
Axel Disasi (Chelsea), long exiled to the club’s so called bomb squad, has reportedly been seen training with the first team at Cobham despite Enzo Maresca insisting there is no way back, raising questions over his status ahead of a possible January move.
Frozen out after turning down loans to West Ham, Bournemouth and Sunderland, Disasi has captained the Under 21s and earned praise for mentoring youngsters, while Pat Nevin warned that harsh treatment of outcasts like Disasi and Raheem Sterling (Chelsea) can damage squad spirit and trust.
