Chelsea manager Enzo Maresca has not been able to give everyone minutes in the Premier League this season.
The above includes the likes of Carney Chukwuemeka, Cesare Casadei, Deivid Washington and Omari Kellyman.
Chukwuemeka and Casadei have only played in the Conference League and Carabao Cup, while Washington and Kellyman are yet to feature at all under Enzo Maresca.
Kellyman is now open to leaving Chelsea in the January transfer window as he looks for regular playing time.

Omari Kellyman part of Chelsea’s first team
Kellyman joined Chelsea from Aston Villa during the summer in a £19m deal. He has missed most of the season so far because of injury.
The 19-year-old attacking midfielder was available in August but played for Chelsea’s U21 team instead of Maresca’s side before picking up a hamstring injury.
Nevertheless, according to GiveMeSport, Kellyman is still considered to be part of Chelsea’s first-team squad. While out injured, Kellyman has been trying to increase muscle.
Omari Kellyman and Marc Guiu will struggle for game time
Marc Guiu is another young player whom Chelsea signed in the last transfer window.

The striker has only made one appearance in the Premier League so far this season but is also considered part of Maresca’s group, according to GiveMeSport.
That is backed up by his appearances in the Conference League. The former Barcelona forward has played seven games in the competition, including qualifiers, and scored three goals.
Guiu grabbed a brace last time out in Chelsea’s 3-1 win against Astana. Like Kellyman, though, the Spain U19 international could probably do with a loan move.
Guiu has a lot of talent, talent he has not been able to showcase too often in the current campaign.
Former Chelsea defender Jason Cundy praised Guiu while commentating on the Astana game on Thursday, describing his first goal as “brilliant”. With all of the quality players that the Blues have, though, Guiu and Kellyman will struggle to break into Maresca’s starting XI.
