Senior Chelsea players are reported to want
Florent Malouda out of the team and Wayne Bridge played on the left
side instead.
According to The Independent, 'the consensus is that Malouda,
who joined from Lyons for £16.5m last year, and Didier Drogba,
injured then suspended, have failed to pull their weight of
late.'
Bridge was again left on the bench on Sunday against Arsenal as
first Malouda and then teenager Miroslav Stoch came on and made
little impact on the game.
Malouda has been a massive flop since joining for his inflated
fee and the players are said to be in favour of playing Bridge in
the midfield instead.
But the England left-back could well be sold in January to raise
funds for a new striker, with Manchester City said to be
interested.
