As always, Chelsea's line-up for the pre-season clash against Udinese seems to have caused a major fan meltdown on social media.
All of Armando Broja, Conor Gallagher, Christian Pulisic, Ben Chilwell, Ruben Loftus-Cheek, Hakim Ziyech, Malang Sarr, Trevoh Chalobah and Ethan Ampadu have been totally left out of the squad to face Udinese on Friday evening. This is despite all nine players being listed by the club officially in the travelling cohort of players to make the trip out to Italy for the final leg of the pre-season tour.
The likes of Michy Batshuayi and Ross Barkley's exclusions from the travelling squad hint at something more substantial going on behind the scenes amid strong Everton transfer rumours. But for the nine aforementioned Chelsea players, their exclusion from the 17-man squad that will take to the Dacia Arena's pitch isn't something to be feared.
