Chelsea are expected to react today to reports that defender William Gallas has deliberately stayed away from their pre-season training camp in the United States.
The French defender has expressed an eagerness to quit Chelsea, although the London club are keen to offer him a new long-term deal.
"My decision has been taken and is definitive: I want to leave Chelsea," he said in May. "I want to experience another challenge."
