Liam Rosenior has provided an update on the futures of Axel Disasi and Raheem Sterling ahead of Chelsea's clash against Pafos in the UEFA Champions League. The duo were omitted from the first-team at the end of the summer transfer window after they failed to find new clubs.

Until November, Disasi trained separately from the first-team at Cobham. After impressing staff behind the scenes, the France international began featuring for the development squad.

Speaking to reporters at Cobham on Tuesday afternoon, the Blues boss said: "My decision on Axel; I had a really good meeting with him a couple of days ago.

"I said to the players when I came in that it's a clean slate for everybody so it was only right for me to chat with him. He's behind in terms of his fitness, his match fitness and we'll work with him.

"We're in conversations with Raheem at the moment about different things going on in his career. Hopefully that will be clearer in the next couple of days."
