Liam Delap and Nicolas Jackson train separately from Chelsea's first team

Liam Delap and Nicolas Jackson are training apart from Chelsea's first-team squad, as reported by the Telegraph. Both players continue to use the first-team facilities while training alongside manager Xabi Alonso's main group. Chelsea is focused on player sales following several summer signings. Delap, who transferred for £30 million last year, is underperforming with only two goals in 41 appearances. Jackson is also seeking to remain in London, but Chelsea is demanding £65 million for a potential sale. Interest from Aston Villa has been noted, but the asking price may hinder negotiations.
