He should be training with the team.

Chelsea head coach Enzo Maresca has placed Raheem Sterling on the sidelines, with the winger now training on his own. Former Aston Villa striker Gabriel Agbonlahor has criticized this decision.

Details: Agbonlahor argues that, regardless of Sterling’s recent performance, Chelsea’s treatment of him is unjust considering his achievements in football.

Quote: “I’ve seen similar situations at Aston Villa. Under Paul Lambert, there was a group called the ‘bomb squad’ who had to train alone. It led to feelings of isolation among those players. For Sterling, his last season wasn’t ideal, but he’s only 30. With 82 caps for England, 20 goals, four Premier League titles, five League Cups, and one FA Cup, it’s unfair for him to be training alone. This treatment can affect mental health. What about Axel Disasi’s mental health?” said Agbonlahor.
