- CHELSEA 0 -2 MANCHESTER CITY| EPIC FANS REACTION
Raheem Sterling is seeking "clarity" over his future at Chelsea after being left out of their Premier League opener against Manchester City, live on Sky Sports.
Sterling had featured in all of Chelsea's pre-season fixtures during which boss Enzo Maresca said he was "one of our most important players".
But the 29-year-old, who joined the club in 2022, was told on Friday that he would not be included in the Blues' 20-player squad - a decision fully supported by Chelsea.

Chelsea Suffer 2-0 Defeat to Manchester City in Season Opener
In an electrifying opening match of the Premier League season, Chelsea faced off against Manchester City at Stamford Bridge, but ultimately succumbed to a 2-0 loss. The Blues, under new manager Enzo Maresca, showed promise but were unable to contain the Citizens' potent attack.
Haaland Strikes Again
Manchester City's Erling Haaland continued his scoring prowess, netting the opening goal in the 25th minute. The Norwegian striker's pace and precision proved too much for the Chelsea defense, setting the tone for the rest of the match.
Kovacic Seals the Win
Mateo Kovacic, who had a stellar game, scored the second goal in the 65th minute, effectively sealing the win for Manchester City. The Croatian midfielder's strike was a testament to City's dominance in midfield, with Kevin De Bruyne and Cole Palmer controlling the tempo.
Nicolas Jackson's Frustrating performance
Chelsea's new signing, Nicolas Jackson, had a frustrating debut, missing several chances to get his team back in the game. Despite his efforts, the Blues were unable to capitalize on their opportunities.
Manchester City's Pedro Neto, Manuel Akanji, and Phil Foden all had impressive performances, contributing to their team's victory. Chelsea's defense, however, struggled to contain the Citizens' attack, with Haaland and Kovacic taking advantage of the spaces.
Enzo Maresca's First Game
Enzo Maresca's first game in charge of Chelsea ended in defeat, but the Italian manager will take heart from his team's performance. With time and tactical adjustments, the Blues can bounce back from this loss.
