Another busy summer transfer window means new Chelsea boss Enzo Maresca has an embarrassment of riches at his disposal, but he has been given an early indication of how tough it will be to keep all of his players happy.
The build-up to Sunday's defeat against Manchester City was overshadowed by a statement from Raheem Sterling's representatives calling for "clarity" on his position after being left out of the matchday squad.
As well as the players who are not playing, Maresca also has to try and form a coherent side with those that do.
The Italian did not start any of his new 11 summer signings but brought four on - only the second time a Premier League side has given out as many as four debuts in one match.
