    Chelsea goalkeeper Djordje Petrovic asked to be left out of their squad for the Club World Cup squad so that he can seek a move away.

    The goalkeeper’s absence is a particular surprise given Chelsea’s goalkeeping situation and his impressive performances on loan at Strasbourg. 

    The 25-year old Serbia international, though, is keen for greater starting opportunities and has attracted interest from Monaco. 

    Andrey Santos, who was also on loan at Strasbourg, as well as new signings, Liam Delap, Dario Essugo, and Mamadou Sarr, have been included.

    Petrovic, though, will be absent, with Raheem Sterling, Joao Felix, Wesley Fofana, and Axel Disasi – worth £225million between them – also not making the cut.

    It means that, for now, Robert Sanchez will likely be Chelsea’s starting goalkeeper, with Filip Jorgensen in reserve.

    The Blues had hoped to sign AC Milan stopper Mike Maignan before the launch of the competition, but that move fell through.

    They had stepped up their interest in the Frenchman in recent days and hoped to complete a deal before the transfer window closed ahead of the Club World Cup.

    But Enzo Maresca’s side were unwilling to pay Milan’s asking fee, which they believe was inflated due to their will to sign him in time for the competition.

    It is understood that Milan wanted around £20m for Maignan, who has one year remaining on his contract at San Siro. 

    The Blues are due to face Los Angeles FC in their first group game in Atlanta this Monday and the travelling squad has been decided.

    As per the rules of the Club World Cup, Chelsea will be able to add new players to their squad between June 27 to July 3 for the knockout stages of the tournament.

    Petrovic played 31 times for Strasbourg last season, conceding 38 goals in all competitions.

    CHELSEA’S CLUB WORLD CUP SQUAD 

    Goalkeepers: Sanchez, Jorgensen, Penders, Slonina

    Defenders: Cucurella, Tosin, Badiashile, Colwill, Sarr, Chalobah, Gusto, Anselmino, Acheampong

    Midfielders: Fernandez, Essugo, Santos, Dewsbury-Hall, Caicedo, Lavia

    Forwards: Neto, Delap, Palmer, Madueke, Jackson, Nkunku, George, Guiu
