Raheem Sterling torn apart for 'ridiculous' Chelsea statement as Jamie Carragher tells disgruntled winger to 'play better' if he wants regular role under Enzo Maresca

Chelsea announced their official squad on Sunday afternoon for their Premier League opener against Manchester City and the list had one key name missing: Sterling. The England international's <a href="https://www.goal.com/en/lists/raheem-sterling-s-camp-demands-clarity-chelsea-future-shock-omission-enzo-maresca-s-squad-man-city-clash-/blt4d3d033e536eedd1" target="_blank">representatives immediately released a statement to question Sterling's future</a> at Stamford Bridge and demanded 'clarity' from the Blues. Carragher has now shot down the 'ridiculous' statement before Chelsea lost 2-0 to the defending champions.

WHAT HAPPENED?

Carragher shot Sterling down on social media as he wrote: "Massive fan of Raheem as a player &amp; a lad. Not a fan of the Chelsea set-up with owners etc…But this statement is ridiculous! As a camp………..! We look forward to gaining clarity…….!! No need for a statement, especially an hour before kick-off!! Just play better."

WHAT CARRAGHER SAID

Sterling's future has not been very secure at Chelsea this summer as the Blues have continued their signing rampage from last year. The Blues have a very bloated squad already and they are still looking to make new signings in attack before the end of the summer. As such, Sterling could be pushed out of the club to make a place for the new signings.

THE BIGGER PICTURE

When asked about Sterling's omission from the squad, Chelsea boss Enzo Maresca said the decision was a 'technical decision'. However, with just under two weeks left until the end of the transfer window, it seems highly unlikely that an exit will be possible.
