Former Liverpool midfielder Danny Murphy has told Ben Chilwell that he’s not going to play under new Chelsea boss Enzo Maresca.

Murphy believes Marc Cucurella is way ahead of Ben Chilwell, and will be behind the Euro 2024 star.

Chilwell has suffered two injury-plagued seasons at Chelsea, and hasn’t been at his best ever since, while Marc Cucurella is in the form of his life.

Following his absence, Marc Cucurella who was initially struggling at Chelsea, had the opportunity to revive his Chelsea career. Cucurella picked form late in the season for Chelsea, and was spectacular for Spain at the Euros.

“He’s not going to play,” Murphy said on talkSPORT when Chilwell was named as a potential leader in Chelsea’s young and inexperienced squad.

“[Marc] Cucurella is going to play after the Euros he had and the end of the season he had. I think Chelsea fans would rather have Cucurella now.’

Asked where that leaves Chilwell, Murphy added: “Picking up his dough and waiting for a move.”

Chilwell has made more than 100 appearances for the Blues since completing a £45m move from Leicester City in 2020.
