Axel Disasi Expresses Hope and Willingness to Return to Chelsea First Team

 Chelsea Football Club defender Axel Disasi has reaffirmed his commitment to the Blues, expressing hope that he will be given the opportunity to play for the first team again in the coming weeks despite his current sidelined status. The 27-year-old French international, who joined Chelsea from Monaco in a £38.5 million transfer in 2023, recently captained the under-21s side to a 4-1 victory over Reading to maintain his match fitness and demonstrate his capabilities.

Disasi has been excluded from Chelsea's Premier League squad this season and has been training separately as part of the club's 'bomb squad,' alongside players like Raheem Sterling. Despite Chelsea's intention to facilitate a sale in the January transfer window, with potential loan moves to clubs such as West Ham, Sunderland, and Bournemouth falling through due to his preference for an overseas opportunity, Disasi has maintained a professional attitude throughout. His appearance for the under-21s was seen as a positive step, serving as a role model for younger players while keeping himself sharp for potential first-team reintegration.

Chelsea Head Coach Enzo Maresca and the club appreciate Disasi's dedication and professionalism amid these challenges. The defender's four caps for France underline his quality, and he remains eager to contribute to the team's ongoing campaign.

The club will monitor the situation closely and provide further updates as developments occur.
