Enzo Maresca says Chelsea's outcasts Raheem Sterling and Axel Disasi have easy lives compared to that of his own 75-year-old father who has spent the last five decades working as a fisherman.
The Chelsea manager was quizzed at his Friday press conference on how Sterling and Disasi were continuing to train separately from the first team with no chance of reconciliation.
It comes as the Professional Footballers' Association tries to ensure that the pair have a proper platform to train as they await the opening of the January transfer window.
