Trevoh Chalobah ‘faces being frozen out at Chelsea after price-tag put off Bayern Munich’
CHELSEA star Trevoh Chalobah could be frozen out by boss Mauricio Pochettino, according to reports.
The centre-back has supposedly been deemed surplus to requirements after failing to secure a transfer away over the summer.
Chalobah is currently out injured until September with a hamstring issue and is unlikely to feature much when he returns to fitness.
Chelsea already have Axel Disasi, Benoit Badiashile, Thiago Silva and Levi Colwill as other centre-back options.
Disasi, who arrived from Monaco for £39million, took Chalobah's place in the squad.
report the Blues were then hoping to sell the 24-year-old for £50m, but this price tag put off suitors like Bayern Munich.

Ex-Chelsea manager Thomas Tuchel is in charge of the Bundesliga champions and is a huge fan of Chalobah, having handed him his debut at his boyhood club.
The German was keen on a reunion but they were not willing to bid close to £50m.
They instead made an effort to snap up Chalobah on loan on deadline day, even willing to sign him without the need for a medical.
However, the transfer still did not materialise.
