England defender of Sierra Leone descent, Trevoh Chalobah, could be recalled by Chelsea from his loan at Crystal Palace during the upcoming January transfer window.
Reports suggest that Chelsea are weighing the option of bringing back the centre-back to address their ongoing defensive concerns.
The club has been struggling with long-term injuries to defenders Benoit Badiashile and Wesley Fofana, though Fofana has publicly questioned manager Enzo Maresca’s belief that his injury could keep him sidelined for the entire season.
With limited defensive options available to Maresca, Chelsea recently called upon 18-year-old Josh Acheampong, who impressed in a recent match against Crystal Palace, a game in which Chalobah was unavailable due to the terms of his loan.
While it was previously believed that Chelsea’s loan agreement with Palace lacked a break clause, sources are reporting that a recall option may indeed be in place, and the Blues are considering bringing Chalobah back this month.
