Last term, it was on June 10th that Chelsea announced their released and retained lists and confirmed the departures of Antonio Rudiger, Andreas Christensen, Danny Drinkwater, Charly Musonda and Jake Clarke-Salter. If that date is repeated, it is less than two weeks following the end of the season.
N'Golo Kante is the most high-profile Chelsea star whose contract is currently set to expire. As far back as February it seemed the Frenchman was set to sign but there has been no announcement of an agreement forthcoming.
Dujon Sterling is expected to depart the club for a move to Rangers having spent the year with Hull. The defender spent some time with Chelsea's first team but did not travel to the USA on pre-season tour and suffered an injury that disrupted his summer before moving to the Potteries.
There will be no shortage of decisions made with regard to development squad prospects too. Tudor Mendel-Idowu and Malik Mothersille are expected to leave the club at the end of their deals as things stand while Derrick Abu has trialled with Crystal Palace. Ethan Wady, who made the bench against Man City, Josh Brooking, Joe Haigh, Bryan Fiabema and Jayden Wareham will also currently see their deals expire.
