Chelsea bar another player! Trevoh Chalobah exiled from first-team facilities as Blues look to offload defender in repeat of Conor Gallagher treatment

According to The Telegraph, the 25-year-old has been kept away from the first-team building at the club's Cobham training ground - bar training with the Blues' development squad. Therefore, until he finds a transfer exit, the defender must spent time away from Enzo Maresca's side.

This is the second time in a matter of weeks that a Chelsea academy player has been jettisoned from the first-team squad. Midfielder Conor Gallagher got similar treatment as he nears a move to Atletico Madrid. Incidentally, Crystal Palace and Aston Villa are reportedly keen on signing Chalobah - who was left out of Chelsea's pre-season tour to the United States earlier this summer.

Chalobah, who turned down the chance to join Nottingham Forest last year, made 17 appearances for the Blues last term and finished the campaign as a regular under former boss Mauricio Pochettino. This looks to be the end of 17 years for the player at Chelsea.

Chalobah, whose contract at Stamford Bridge runs until the summer of 2028 and includes an option to extend for another year, will likely be the subject of a lot of transfer speculation while the summer window remains open until August 30.
