One such player who has been caught in the crossfire of what can only be described as uncharacteristic spending is Raheem Sterling. The forward has been left out of the squad by Enzo Maresca for their game against Manchester City on Sunday which has seen the midfielder left in uncertainty and is seeking \u2018clarity\u2019 on his future.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
\u201cRaheem Sterling is contracted to Chelsea Football Club for the next three years,\u201d Sterling\u2019s camp have said to Daily Mail on his situation.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
\u201cHe returned to England two weeks early to conduct individual training, and has had a positive pre-season under the new coach, who he has developed a good working relationship with.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
\u201cHe is committed, as ever, to delivering at the highest level for Chelsea FC and the fans, who he holds in high regard, and given his inclusion in official club pre-match material this week, our expectation was that Raheem would be involved in this weekend\u2019s fixture in some capacity.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
\u201cAs a camp, we have always had positive dialogue with, and assurance from, Chelsea FC in relation to Raheem\u2019s future at the club, so we look forward to gaining clarity on the situation. Until then, we will continue to support Raheem\u2019s desire to start the new season positively.\u201d<\/p>\r\n\r\n
Following Sterling\u2019s exclusion from the squad, Maresca claimed the decision to exclude Sterling was only a technical decision.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
\u201cThe manager has to make some decisions. Sometimes players don\u2019t like it, that\u2019s normal. Just a technical decision, no more than that,\u201d said Enzo to Sky Sports.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
