Chelsea Players Going to Euro 2024


The English Premier League season is over and it's time to start preparing for the Euro 2024 taking place in Germany. While some of the Chelsea squad will be touring the US this summer, a handful of them will be competing for their countries on June 14. 

Despite having the most successful youth academy, only two Chelsea players will be suiting up for England's national squad, Cole Palmer and Conor Gallagher. 

Djordje Petrovic has been called upon by Serbia to compete for a starting position against Predrag Rajkovic and Vanja Milinkovic-Savic.

Mykhailo Mudryk is going to be turning it up for Ukraine, as he does when he plays for his home country. 

Marc Cucurella has yet to be confirmed to be called upon by Spain though he has played for them in the past. 

Players Left Out of the Euro 2024

Robert Sanchez has been left out of the squad for Spain. 

Romeo Lavia will not be competing for Belgium on account of being injured. 

Surprisingly, Malo Gusto, Christopher Nkunku, Axel Disasi, and Benoit Badiashile  were left out of the French squad. 

England has left behind the likes of Reece James, Ben Chilwell, Levi Colwill, Noni Madueke, and Trevor Chalobah. They have all struggled to stay fit this season and had inconsistent game time. Raheem Sterling is fit but has underperformed severely this season, so it is not surprising that Southgate left him off the team sheet. 

This is good news for me because I will be seeing them at Levi Stadium when they face off against Wrexham on July 24th. I'm glad I'll be able to see a lot of the main squad in action under the new leadership. My only wish is that they all manage to stay fit throughout the summer for the next season.

Chelsea Select New Manager

Image
Chelsea Settled on Enzo Maresca © Provided by Metro      There had been much speculation about who would be replacing Mauricio Pochettino at Chelsea, but they have finally come to a decision. An agreement has been reached with Leicester City to sign Enzo Maresca for 10 million pounds. While he wasn’t on the top of any short list that I’ve read over the last week, Maresca might fit perfectly into the new Sporting Directors’ plan. Who is Enzo Maresca?      Enzo Maresca is a 44-year-old Italian former player with the likes of Juventus and Sevilla. After spending some time as an assistant coach under Pellegrini at West Ham, a failed stint as manager at Parma, and assistant coach under Pep Guardiola at Man City, Maresca just led Leicester city to a Championship title and promotion back into the Premier League. There are some who have voiced concern over his short stint at Serie B club, Parma, that resulted in being sacked after a dozen or so games, but the disciple of Guardiola has promise.

Chelsea Legend Unhappy with Manager Departure

 Chelsea Legend Unhappy with Manager Firing       The decision to release Mauricio Pochettino has been a shock to many of the players and coaching staff. One Chelsea legend and current academy coach took to Instagram to express his feelings about the departure. John Terry, longtime defender and team captain during their most successful era, wrote that he is "gutted" by Poch's exit. Chelsea fans share in his hope that players are not bought or sold until the next manager is selected.      If the sporting directors or ownership at Stamford Bridge had any sense, they would listen to the five-time EPL winner. They need to figure out the new manager's tactics and formation so they can collaborate on acquiring players who will fit their style of play. That was one of the problems all of the five managers have had in the last couple of years. They all picked up a squad arranged by the previous manager that didn't fit the formation or tactic. Also, the players couldn'

What is the Problem at Chelsea?

  What is the Problem at Chelsea?      Chelsea FC has been a revolving door for managers for many years, but five managers in two years is excessive. It can be argued that some of those managers were not prepared to take on the juggernaut of expectations for a Champions League club with an astronomical budget, such as Graham Potter or Frank Lampard. However, Thomas Tuchel and Pochettino seemed to have the qualifications and support from fans for the job, yet they failed. To be fair, Tuchel led the club to their last Champions League cup and was thrown out with the dirty bathwater of the Abramovich era.      As a fan, I was really looking forward to seeing what Poch could do with a few seasons at the club. It took him five years to take Tottenham from the middle of the table to top contenders, so I expected no less for Chelsea. It appears as though Todd Boehly also hoped to give him another season after seeing the spark they've been missing during the club's five-game-winning st
