The former Leicester City man has seldom been used by new head coach Enzo Maresca so far this season.
Chelsea is preparing to part ways with left-back Ben Chilwell as the January transfer window approaches.
Despite a recent return to the first team under manager Enzo Maresca, the club is reportedly open to bids for the 27-year-old defender.
Chilwell has had a tumultuous start to the season, initially being exiled from the first team and only making his debut from the bench in the recent 5-0 Carabao Cup victory over Barrow.

With the January window on the horizon, the Blues are keen to offload him, hoping to recoup funds and possibly reinvest in other positions.
Chilwell’s limited playing time in the UEFA Conference League squad highlights the diminishing role he may play moving forward.
The club's willingness to entertain offers could signal a shift in strategy as they look to streamline their squad and enhance competition for starting positions.
Heading into January Chelsea's focus will include offloading Ben Chilwell and strengthening the back line by finding better options.
