Former Chelsea striker Tony Cascarino has branded the club a "mess".
Cascarino believes several members of the first-team squad hold the sort of view reportedly held by Timo Werner, that he is unhappy while not playing enough and wants to leave.
The Stamford Bridge directors' box has also seen an overhaul with Todd Boehly helming the ship after the Boehly-Clearlake takeover, which led to the exits of Bruce Buck, Petr Cech and Marina Granovskaia.
He told talkSPORT: “So much uncertainty within that squad. Take Timo Werner, who has made it quite clear he'd like to move on and play elsewhere as he wants more game time ahead of the World Cup.
“That's littered in Chelsea's squad, way too many.
“You also have to add in departures at the top end of the club. That doesn't always affect what happens on the field, but from Bruce Buck to Marina to Petr Cech, there's too much change at Chelsea.
“It's becoming a bit messy."
