Cole Palmer, Axel Disasi react as Tosin Adarabioyo posts update away from Chelsea
Chelsea centre-back Tosin Adarabioyo has received reactions from the likes of Cole Palmer and Axel Disasi after sending a social media message on his time away from the club.
Back in the summer transfer window, Adarabioyo joined Chelsea despite a late bid to sign him from Man United upon his exit from Fulham.
Since then the centre-back has endured a mixed debut campaign at Stamford Bridge, with the UEFA Conference League the only trophy they are still in contention for.
That has led to frustrations being aimed at Chelsea manager Enzo Maresca by members of the fanbase, and the international break appears to have provided a welcome distraction for Adarabioyo.

Having already been knocked out of the FA Cup, Chelsea are not back in action until Thursday (3 April) when they host Tottenham at Stamford Bridge.
As a result members of the squad have been given the opportunity to take some time away for a well-earned rest, something Adarabioyo has done.
| Tosin Adarabioyo for Chelsea in 2024/25 | Total (as per SofaScore) |
| Appearances | 16 |
| Goals | 1 |
| Assists | 1 |
| Pass Success Rate | 91% |
| Tackles per Game | 0.9 |
| Clearances per Game | 3.2 |
| Interceptions per Game | 0.6 |
Taking to Instagram, the centre-back posted a series of images of a trip to Los Angeles from over the international break.
In response, Disasi, who is currently on loan at Aston Villa from Chelsea liked the post, as did another member of Unai Emery’s side, Adarabioyo’s former youth teammate Morgan Rogers.
Elsewhere, several of the centre-back’s current teammates at Chelsea such as Cole Palmer, Marc Cucurella, Nicolas Jackson and Omari Kellyman could also be seen liking that message from the 27-year-old.

Football Insider Verdict
Maresca will no doubt hope that after this time away, the likes of Adarabioyo will be in a position to finish the season in the right way.
Chelsea are major favourites to win the UEFA Conference League, and are still in contention to qualify for the Champions League.
Given the pressure he is already under from the fanbase, failure to succeed in those two objectives is only going to make life harder for him.
There are though clear incentives for this squad in both the race for the top four and in Europe, given the opportunities to both play at the very top level and claim a major trophy.
As a result, Adarabioyo too will still be well aware of the fact that his first season with Chelsea could end in positive fashion.
