“He might have been the main man for Maresca but he’s not in my plans at all. I don’t see the use of keeping him at Stamford Bridge” – This is according to Liam Rosenior, even despite early optimism about his potential under manager Liam Rosenior, a Chelsea first-team player is now anticipated to depart the club during the January transfer window.

After conducting several training sessions, new Chelsea manager Liam Rosenior has had the opportunity to evaluate his entire first-team squad.

Players like Jamie Gittens and Jorrel Hato made positive impressions in his first match, a 5-1 FA Cup win over Charlton Athletic, where a rotated side seized their chance to shine.

However, one notable absentee from that match was academy graduate Tyrique George. The youngster has been a peripheral figure since November, starting only twice in all competitions.

According to reports, George is now expected to leave Chelsea permanently during the January transfer window, with interest from both domestic and foreign clubs. A proposed move to Fulham collapsed on deadline day last summer due to administrative issues.

This anticipated departure comes despite some external belief that George could have thrived under Rosenior’s management.

Journalist Barry Cooper had previously suggested the winger was well-suited to flourish under the new coach. However, it appears George will not be granted an opportunity to prove his worth, and he is unlikely to feature in the upcoming Carabao Cup semi-final against Arsenal, even with several key players facing fitness concerns.
