Chelsea news: Tiemoue Bakayoko unhappy to be left out of Maurizio Sarri’s plans
The Frenchman is close to joining AC Milan on loan after a disappointing first season in west London
Tiemoue Bakayoko is reportedly disappointed to have been axed from Maurizio Sarri's Chelsea squad for the new season.
The Frenchman's loan switch to AC Milan is expected to be confirmed on Saturday.
Bakayoko experienced a difficult first season in the Premier League after joining from Monaco for £40m.
He has been left out of the Blues squad to face Huddersfield this afternoon, with Jorginho, N'Golo Kante and Ross Barkley starting in midfield.
Bakayoko failed to impress Sarri in pre-season and the new Chelsea boss admitted he is trying to cut down the size of his squad.
He said: "Now I think the squad is too large.
"Some players have to go on loan. I don't know who at the moment.
"I prefer to have 23 or 24 players and three or four very young players. No more."
With the addition of Mateo Kovacic on loan from Real Madrid and Ruben Loftus-Cheek remaining in the squad, Bakayoko's Chelsea future looks bleak.
