- Chalobah almost joined Bayern
- Deal collapsed before transfer window closed
- Defender could be frozen out of squad
WHAT HAPPENED? The defender has been deemed surplus to requirements at Stamford Bridge, Evening Standard reports. He came close to joining Bayern towards the end of the summer transfer window, but the deal collapsed.
THE BIGGER PICTURE: Chalobah is currently recovering from a hamstring injury but he will likely be kept out of the team once he is fit again. The Blues youth academy product was offered the chance to join Nottingham Forest but turned it down and will now have to wait until at least January before he will be allowed to leave Chelsea.
