Chilwell likely to be first to ask to leave Chelsea, says Maresca

Neither player has featured in the Premier League this season and their absence from Maresca's second-string selections in the Conference League and League Cup has long pointed towards a Stamford Bridge exit. England international Chilwell was told in August he was not in the head coach's plans but a comeback looked possible when the 27-year-old played the second half of September's League Cup win over Barrow. That return has not materialised, while 21-year-old Chukwuemeka has been largely been limited to substitute appearances.
