As such, the London club now has a bloated squad, with a number of players missing out on the team's UEFA Champions League squad for the second half of the campaign as a result.
Reports suggest that Chelsea are thus set to begin plans to shift unwanted players out of the club, and according to the Daily Telegraph, as many as 14 first-team stars are set to be axed in the next transfer window.
With it said that Chelsea are determined to avoid keeping players entering the final 12 months of their contracts, they will reportedly look to sell any stars who do not want to commit their futures to the club.
