Three Chelsea players who have still not spoken with Mauricio Pochettino over their future at the club.

Three Chelsea players have still not even spoken to Mauricio Pochettino.

In addition to Romelu Lukaku, Callum Hudson-Odoi and Malang Sarr have not spoken to Mauricio Pochettino since his arrival at Stamford Bridge.

That is according to the Evening Standard.

So, what is the situation involving Malang Sarr and Callum Hudson-Odoi at Chelsea? Let’s take a look…

What’s the story?

Well, Lukaku not speaking to Pochettino has already been well documented in Italian news outlets as well as the Telegraph here in England.

However, there has been no mention of any other Chelsea player blanking the Argentine – until now.

The Evening Standard believe Sarr and Hudson-Odoi have not said a single word to Pochettino since he replaced Frank Lampard in west London, as both players still find themselves with uncertain futures at Chelsea.

All three players are currently training with the Under-21 side at Chelsea as they await their destiny.

Chelsea remain in talks with Juventus over a deal for Lukaku, according to the Telegraph, while Fulham agreed personal terms with Hudson-Odoi only to back out of the deal, as revealed by Tom Roddy of The Times.

In regards to Sarr, the Frenchman could join Strasbourg – according to journalist Andreas Korssund – after Todd Boehly completed a full takeover of the Ligue 1 side.

However, the Evening Standard believe the defender does not have many offers on the table due to his £100,000-a-week wages.

Chelsea have to find a way to offload Lukaku, Sarr and Hudson-Odoi

Putting finances aside for a moment, no manager wants to have three senior players training with the Under-21 side for months. It can create a poor atmosphere around the training ground, and also allow negativity to seep into the dressing room.

However, the need to offload Lukaku, Sarr and Hudson-Odoi is even greater for Boehly and Pochettino, as the trio earn a huge amount of money.

Sarr, as aforesaid, is handed £100,000-a-week by Chelsea.

That means Chelsea spend £2.3m every month just to pay the unwanted trio, which is frankly ridiculous.

Hopefully, all three find new homes before the transfer window slams shut.
