Banished Chelsea star returns to first team training under Liam Rosenior after almost a year in exile, leaving £325,000-a-week outcast Raheem Sterling as last member of club's 'bomb squad'
Liam Rosenior has ended Axel Disasi’s first-team exile following productive talks with the Chelsea outcast, but Raheem Sterling remains in the cold for now. Rosenior said: ‘Raheem, at the moment, we're in conversations about different things and different options that are going on in his career. I said to the players when I came in, “It's a clean slate for everybody.” So it was only right for me to have a conversation with him – a really good conversation. I got to know him really, really well. I think we're going to have a really, really good, hopefully winning, relationship moving forward in the short term and the long term.’
