Chelsea don’t have loads of quality in their squad right now.

The Blues are really struggling in the Premier League as they flounder in mid-table.

Chelsea really aren’t playing well at the moment, and many of their players seem to lack a lot of quality.

However, while a number of the Blues’ players seem to lack ability right now, they do have a number of players who are physically brilliant.

Moises Caicedo is incredibly strong, Mykhaylo Mudryk is absolutely rapid, and according to Raheem Sterling, Chelsea have a number of players who are incredibly fit.

Speaking to StatSports, Sterling has been discussing some of his Chelsea teammates, and he says that there are three players in the squad who never stop running – Malo Gusto, Conor Gallagher and Ben Chilwell.

Raheem Sterling names the fittest players at Chelsea

Sterling spoke about some of his Chelsea teammates.

“Which player never stops running,” Sterling was asked.

“There’s a few in our team, Malo Gusto, yeah, Conor, Chilli, their lungs are different,” Sterling said.

Struggling

It’s all well and good having players in your squad who will run all day, but if they’re running without any purpose or direction, there’s no point to any of it.

As Sterling says, a player like Gallagher will cover all of the ground in the world in the midfield throughout a game, but with Chelsea’s midfield structure being so unclear right now, a lot of the running is aimless.

Ben Chilwell and Malo Gusto at least have a clear role at wing-back where they are tasked with covering the flanks, and they are arguably two of Chelsea’s best and fittest players.

Gusto in particular has been a bright spot in what has been a difficult season for Chelsea, and it’s fair to say that the £31m man has looked like a rare positive signing by Todd Boehly at Stamford Bridge.
