Chelsea are planning on reintegrating France international Axel Disasi (27) back into Enzo Maresca’s first team set-up, according to **[Football London](https://www.football.london/chelsea-fc/news/breaking-axel-disasis-behind-scenes-32874031).** The former AS Monaco has been frozen out by the Blues since he returned to his parent club on the back of his six-month loan to Aston Villa FC last season.
Disasi joined Chelsea from Monaco, who offered him a way back into first team football this summer, in a £40m deal over a six-year contract. The France international trained separately to Maresca’s senior squad since the start of the season, but the 27-year-old reportedly impressed behind the scenes with Chelsea’s younger players.
