I miss him in today’s game. How I wish He was here with us; those chances could have been converted to goals,” Cole Palmer reveals, the only Chelsea player that he missed in today’s match.

In the game today, I miss him. Cole Palmer, the only Chelsea player he missed in today’s game, said, “How I wish He was here with us; those chances could have been converted into goals.”

After a thrilling matchup under former manager Mauricio Pochetinno the previous season, Chelsea faced Manchester City in their first Premier League match under new manager Enzo Maresca. The Blues lost both of their first-half matches despite expecting to win.

With Sterling out of the starting lineup following such a disappointing campaign, the manager had his starting lineup figured out. After accepting a £47.6 million offer, the Englishman moved to West London and has been aiming to become the manager’s first choice ever since. The Blues prospect, meanwhile, has already taken to SkySport to provide an explanation for his exclusion from the team.

Sterling scored just nine goals in 38 games during his rookie year, and the forward only added to that total in the final season as the team finished without a trophy under Mauricio Pochettino.

There was a sense that the England international may restart his faltering career under the new head coach, as Maresca had called Sterling a “important player” during the preseason.

However, Sterling’s unexpected exclusion has cast uncertainty on his future, and the striker is eager to know where he fits into the team.

For the next three years, Raheem Sterling is under contract with Chelsea Football Club. Mail Sport was told by Sterling’s camp.

He came back to England two weeks ahead of schedule to work on individual training, and he’s had a terrific preseason working with the new coach, with whom he’s built a nice rapport.

“We expected Raheem to be involved in some way in this weekend’s fixture, given his inclusion in official club pre-match material this week. He is committed, as ever, to delivering at the highest level for Chelsea FC and the fans, whom he holds in high regard.”

As a camp, we are eager to get more information because we have always had positive communication and assurances from Chelsea FC regarding Raheem’s future with the team.

“Until then, we’ll keep encouraging Raheem to have a successful start to the new season.”

Nicolas Jackson, Cole Palmer, and Christopher Nkunku, among others, gave Chelsea plenty of alternatives in their forward line, but none of them managed to score a single goal. The management eventually substituted the majority of his new acquisitions for the starting lineup, but the Blues lost their opening game 0–2 at home.
