Buck: more departures to come

Bruce Buck, Chelsea's chairman, has revealed there is more than likely to be a lot of players leaving the club this summer. Juliano Belletti and Steven Sidwell could both leave in the summer.

"We decided several months ago that our squad size is a few players too many," he said. "It is about 28 now and it should really be 22 plus three goalkeepers.

"So there is going to be some movement just to get the squad down to the size we think is optimum.

"In terms of other transfers generally, every year we want to tweak the squad a bit, so there will be some changes, but I don't expect there to be massive, wholesale changes."
