Chelsea must cut 16 players from their 41-man senior squad by September 1, as new manager Xabi Alonso seeks a manageable 25-player group without European football. Alonso has made signings but still needs to offload players. Benoit Badiashile, Axel Disasi, Marc Guiu, David Datro Fofana and Caleb Wiley are training away from the first team. Trevoh Chalobah is near a £31m Como move; Filip Jorgensen is set to join Strasbourg on loan. Chelsea have spent £1.8bn on signings since 2022 and raised nearly £1bn in sales. They face AC Milan in Indonesia on Saturday before playing Johor Darul Ta'zim on Sunday.
