Staying at Chelsea without role Sterling will remain at Chelsea and collect a paycheck after not moving elsewhere in the summer transfer window.
Impact Sterling doesn't have a role under Enzo Maresca, but he's still getting paid, which is how the first half of the season will play out. In limited time at Arsenal last season, Sterling was noticeably not at the peak of his game and it's likely any other moves at this point in his career will be to smaller destinations. At Chelsea, it's unlikely he'll find pitch time.

Out in friendly Sterling wasn't included in the squad for Friday's friendly with Leverkusen.
Impact Sterling wasn't in the squad Friday as he prepares for a transfer away from Chelsea. It's unclear where he will land, but the club have made it clear that they don't see him having a future there. New signings Estevao and Jamie Gittens all but guarantee that Sterling would be buried at the bottom of the depth chart even if he remains. He spent last season on loan with Arsenal, where he provided two assists in 17 appearances.

Struggles in depth role Sterling provided a pair of assists in 17 appearances (seven starts) in the Premier League.
Impact Sterling joined Arsenal as a depth option for the attack after a decent season with Chelsea. He didn't really live up to the expectations, even with a plethora of injuries in the attack. He's now likely to return to Chelsea at the end of his loan, but it's unlikely he plays any role there either.

Provides assist in draw Sterling assisted once to go with one shot (zero on goal), one cross (zero accurate) and one chance created in Saturday's 1-1 draw versus Everton.
Impact Sterling started in the Premier League for the first time since mid-February and made a strong impact in the attack. He set up Leandro Trossard's opening goal in the first half and recorded one shot. This was his second assist of the league season and his third in his last two starts across all competitions. He has not been a regular starter recently but could see minutes again Saturday against Brentford after missing the Champions League match due to suspension.

Two assists in draw Sterling assisted on both of Arsenal's goals in a 2-2 draw against PSV Eindhoven Tuesday in Champions League play.
Impact Arsenal had a big lead on aggregate going into the tie, so the result wasn't necessarily in doubt. Sterling could be called on with injuries across the board but unfortunately he will miss the first leg of the UCL quarterfinal round against Real Madrid thanks to his late yellow card. He likely remains on the bench Sunday against Chelsea.

Will miss first leg against Madrid Sterling will miss the first leg of the Champions League quarter-final against Real Madrid due to suspension.
Impact Sterling received his third yellow card on Wednesday in the second-leg clash with PSV and will miss the first leg of the quarterfinal against Real Madrid due to suspension. He has not been a regular starter this season so his absence will not force a change in the starting XI but he could have had an impact with all the injuries in Arsenal's attack. The forward will be back for the second leg on April. 16.

Unused on bench Sterling (knee) was an unused substitute during Tuesday's 2-0 loss to Newcastle United in the Carabao Cup.
Impact Sterling returned to the bench for Tuesday's clash, but wasn't brought on the pitch. It's unclear if he's not fully fit, or if he just isn't considered a large part of Arteta's plans. Still with Bukayo Saka (hamstring) set for a long spell on the sideline, Sterling should get more chances.

Impact Sterling is still battling a knee injury but seems to be on the mend, as he received a positive update on the injury.

Impact Sterling joined Arsenal from Chelsea on a deal close to the transfer deadline, and the veteran winger has had a hard time adjusting to the club, evidenced by the fact that he's played less than 20 minutes in his three outings off the bench before eventually starting vs. the Saints. Sterling should continue to operate as a backup in the attacking line for the foreseeable future.
