A Chelsea star has reportedly been banished from the first team as they look to offload him ahead of the new season.

Conor Gallagher's future with the Blues looks to be coming to end with the transfer window set to close at the end of the month.

The Sun have reported that the England international will not be allowed to train with Enzo Maresca when he returns from holiday on Monday.

Gallagher reportedly met with the club on Friday to inform them of his desire to sign a new long-term deal, but the club informed he will not be allowed to attend training with the first team on Monday.

The Blues have been trying to offload the 24-year-old, who is believed to be worth around £40million but he was keen on staying at Stamford Bridge.

The report claims that Gallagher already turned down a move to Aston Villa a couple months ago despite Chelsea accepting a £57million offer.

As a result, the England midfielder will now be forced to train with the bomb squad, which is made up of players who are not in the manager's plans for the upcoming season.

Gallagher captain the Blues for a large part of last season, but the Sun added that new coach Maresca has concerns about the player's ability to play his possession-based style this campaign.

Various reports in England claim that LALIGA side Atletico Madrid are very keen on a move for the England international.
