Chelsea tried to offload Trevoh Chalobah during the summer transfer window, and although Bayern Munich expressed a strong interest, a move for the defender failed to materialise.
Failing to leave Stamford Bridge over the summer, Chalobah, 24, is now set to stay with the Blues until at least the January transfer window opens.
However, although its fair to say that his status is surplus to requirements, according to journalist Liam Twomey, the 24-year-old could still play an important role for Mauricio Pochettino.
Chelsea made it clear throughout the summer and on deadline day that they wanted to sell Chalobah, but there haven’t been any suggestions he’ll be frozen out until January.
He’s recovering well from a hamstring injury and hoping to be available again early next month #CFC

Even though defenders are not something Chelsea lack due to having 11, including Chalobah, within their senior first team, fans know just how many options US billionaire owner Todd Boehly likes to give his manager.
And with this season likely to be one of the most competitive, as well as the fixtures coming thick and fast, Pochettino will be grateful for all the help he can get, especially at the back after his side have managed just one clean sheet in their last five games.
