Dujon Sterling is set to move on a season-long loan to Stoke City, should he complete his medical today.
The 22-year-old defender started the summer training with Chelsea's first team following his 2021/22 loan with Blackpool, but he was not involved in the group that travelled to the USA and soon suffered an injury in a friendly against Borehamwood.
Sterling was forced off in the first half of that match having started the game well and has not now featured since July. The injury obviously slowed pre-season preparations and meant the likes of QPR moved onto other targets rather than wait for the Cohbam product's recovery.
