The England international was one of the most notable absentees from Enzo Maresca's first Premier League squad as Blues boss, with Sterling joining the likes of Conor Gallagher, Ben Chilwell and Romelu Lukaku as part of the omitted contingent for the match against Manchester City on Sunday.
The situation has not gone down well with the winger's camp, though, as, shortly before kick-off of their match against the reigning champions and Sterling's former side, they released a lengthy statement ordering the club to clarify his situation at Stamford Bridge.
"Raheem Sterling is contracted to Chelsea Football Club for the next three years," the statement from his agent read, as per Goal.
"He 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.
"He 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 weekend's fixture in some capacity.
