The unfortunate tale of one of Chelsea's brightest youth sparks has continued a torrid journey down a dark tunnel this summer as Charly Musonda goes AWOL after departing Stamford Bridge.
After finally leaving the Blues this summer following a decade at the club, the 25-year-old winger was given hope of establishing his fading professional career. Homeland club Zulte Waregem offered him a chance to get back into playing football after a promising trial, but it seems that the Belgian winger has turned it down.
The attacker was offered a contract but failed to turn up for training following the offer. The absence was initially reported by the club as being due to family reasons, with the hope that he would return to the club and sign on. Musonda took on a different course of action though.
