An official statement from Raheem Sterlingβs camp after being left out of Chelseaβs opening Premier League squad:
βRaheem Sterling is contracted to Chelsea Football Club for the next three years.
βHe returned to England two weeks early to conduct individual training, and has had a positive pre-season under the new coach, who he has developed a good working relationship with.
βHe is committed, as ever, to delivering at the highest level for Chelsea FC and the fans, who he holds in high regard, and given his inclusion in official club pre-match material this week, our expectation was that Raheem would be involved in this weekendβs fixture in some capacity.
βAs a camp, we have always had positive dialogue with, and assurance from, Chelsea FC in relation to Raheemβs future at the club, so we look forward to gaining clarity on the situation.
βUntil then, we will continue to support Raheemβs desire to start the new season positively.β

Enzo Maresca on Raheem Sterling's statement:
βTo be honest, I didn't see the statement. I have nothing to say. It was a tactical decision, no more than that. In the next day, we will clarify in case we need to. I have been clear, it's a tactical decision.β

Enzo Maresca:
βI think we competed very well for much of the game. We were similar if not better. The performance was there but we didn't take the chances. Probably the big difference was inside the box. I'm quite happy in terms of performance.β
βWe were against the champions today. We will continue and win games. They are a master in this kind of moment. We had two or three chances. They are a master of keeping hold of the ball...β
