CHELSEA defender Axel Disasi has given fans a glimpse into the harsh realities of life in the Blues' 'bomb squad.'
The French defender shared an image of the group's dreary dressing room to his Instagram account.
The room appears grey and small compared to the high tech dressing rooms of Premier League football teams.
The wooden benches and hooks around the room are akin to those you would find at the facilities of a local gym or secondary school.
Name plates are visible for Disasi - which we have circled - as well as fellow outcasts Carney Chukwuemeka, Lesley Ugochukwu and Ben Chilwell.
Academy graduates Armando Broja and Alfie Gilchrist can be seen in the corners of the room in the image.
The snap was clearly taken a few weeks ago, as Ugochukwu and Broja have since secured twin moves to newly-promoted Burnley.
Disasi and Gilchrist spent last season on loan with Aston Villa and Sheffield United respectively, but have not managed to secure moves away yet this window.
Chelsea had declared their interest in moving those names on as part of a 'bomb squad' of unwanted stars including Raheem Sterling, Nicolas Jackson, Christopher Nkunku, Renato Veiga and David Datro Fofana,
Veiga joined Spanish outfit Villarreal this week for a club record £26 million.
However, deals for the other members have been harder to come by.
Jackson has been extensively linked with a move away and is still generating interest from Newcastle and Serie A.
Chelsea are hoping to generate some more money and free space from sales in the next two weeks to open up the possibility for some late signings.
The Blues are still interested in RB Leipzig's Xavi Simons, and they could reignite their pursuit of Manchester United's Alejandro Garnacho if they can make room in the squad.
Garnacho has been pushing hard for the move in recent weeks, sparking controversy among fans of the Red Devils.
If Chelsea do need a squad reshuffle before the end of the window, they did not show it during Friday's clash with West Ham, in which they cruised to a massive 5-1 victory away from home.

this is thr other side of the coin, in Isaak case, when a club want to move players on, they do everything and treat them like no body, but when the player was the one calling to move on, the fans go against them, call them rebels, disrespecting their contracts and so on, my take, no players should be treated like shit even when u don't need them, they didn't call to be in ur club, u when and buy them and if they don't meet your expectations, respectfully move them on and still make them feel like they are family to them club and when they live, they will still have something good to talk about the treatment the club give them even at their difficult time

They should also give us a peep of their wages log over the course the season that they played abysmally... The fact that they were allowed to be in the team is a reflection of belief in them, so it's not the fault of the club that they are only consistent in underperforming...

No player would be forced out when he's performing very well, except in cases of dispute with the management or coach.. Trevor Chalobah is a great example that when you're good, You're celebrated.

How many times are they going to repost this shit. If a player isn't the manager's plan, He isn't, simple as that. At least he had the decency to let them know early than to string them along...

if Jackson works on finishing he can be a top striker. He always gets a chance in almost every game. (I wanted Arsenal to get him if he was cheap as a backup. I know most will probably say hell no.)

they failed to impress... Sterling always greedy while with the ball, Jackson can't even score goals...one on one he will miss, the board is just managing him since ..he thinks Chelsea don't have undergone plans...now see Joao Pedro came and started banging goals ..That is what we want...see Estavao same thing...we revert back to Madueke, he was carried away doing big boy not until Pedro Neto came and was ready to kick him out of place....we once ridicle Cucurela, he picked up the challenge, worked on himself. now is he the best left or right back

You don't force yourself on a club you are not wanted... wise up guys. If it means taking salary cut and move on there are clubs that will definitely need thier services if they have good agents after all Chelsea not holding on to them.

these players don't have good agents. Take a cut price and find a club to play. The WC is next year for crying out loud. Why take the bull by the horn

Chelsea kept buying more players while relegating more to the bomb squad. Players should think before joining Chelsea in order not to have their future and fate tied to a miserable bomb squad
players will continue to choose Chelsea over Arsenal, if it fail we can as well push them to Arsenal and you can't say no to free sale.

just 8 points was the difference between arsenal and Chelsea. Now I can boost we have a good striker. the club should add a good goal keeper let see if arsenal will finish above us

if not for Jackson wastefulness and Sanchez errors. Do you think you would have finished better than Chelsea last season.

its part of the building process, players should fight for a regular start, players that work hard cannot be relegated and this is obtainable in every other club across Europe

The whole decisions are made by the coach of which, what, etc type of players he appreciates to work with. If u don't fulfill the requirements then that's ur end in the very team that once liked u so you've got to go to the next team.
