Several Chelsea players were left surprised at not making the bench for their Premier League loss to Tottenham at the weekend.
The Blues have an extremely bloated squad at present, given the number of players they have acquired in the past two transfer windows.
Manager Graham Potter is struggling to get results, but some players are unhappy at not being given more chances.
Trevoh Chalobah, Marc Cucurella, Carney Chukwuemeka and David Datro Fofana did not even make the bench for the game.
Per The Telegraph, several of them were shocked at their exclusion, as they believe their performances did not merit such treatment.
Striker Pierre Emerick-Aubameyang has also struggled to get into the team's matchday squads recently.
