Thomas Tuchel admitted Chelsea could cut short a loan deal agreed in the summer that has not produced the results many expected.
A vast array of Chelsea stars were loaned out over the summer, three of which were to fellow Premier League sides. Armando Broja joined Southampton, while midfield duo Conor Gallagher and Billy Gilmour joined Crystal Palace and Norwich respectively.
Gallagher has set the world alight under Patrick Vieira, and produced a man of the match display as the Eagles inflicted a costly defeat on Chelsea’s title rivals Manchester City on Saturday.
In contrast, Gilmour’s spell with the Canaries has failed to ignite. Despite being a regular for Scotland, the 20-year-old hasn’t featured for Daniel Farke’s side in the league since September 18.
Gilmour has been an unused substitute five times this season, and the lack of regular gametime is doing little for his development.
