'Trevoh Chalobah reaction to Chelsea recall emerges amid Thomas Tuchel update'
Yesterday at 03:26 PM
Thomas Tuchel is monitoring Trevoh Chalobah after Chelsea recalled the defender from Crystal Palace, The Telegraph reports.
According to the outlet's website on 15 January, the England boss, who was in attendance to watch his former side draw 2-2 with Bournemouth at Stamford Bridge the previous night, is “keeping an eye” on Chalobah's progress this season.
This follows Chelsea's decision to recall the centre-back from his loan at Crystal Palace amid defensive injury issues with Wesley Fofana and Benoit Badiashile.
The report also notes that Chalobah has given the "green light" for his return to Enzo Maresca's side, despite the controversy surrounding his summer exit as he was banished from club facilities.
Chelsea now need Trevoh Chalobah more than ever
Football Insider Verdict
The English defender has been an important figure in Oliver Glasner's squad since joining on loan, forming a solid first-choice back three alongside Maxence Lacroix and Marc Guehi.
Chalobah has made 14 appearances for Palace and will now have the opportunity to feature for Maresca's team in three different competitions.
It's intriguing that, if the reports are true, Chalobah has given his approval for the move back to Chelsea, particularly given that he was sidelined from training during the summer [The Telegraph].
With the club facing injuries and the additional issue of Renato Veiga seeking to leave, the squad would have been light if no action had been taken.
Chelsea fans have voiced their displeasure over how the club has handled Chalobah’s situation, but this move now offers him a chance to prove himself at the highest level.
That's only the case if the club doesn't go out and sign another defender. Football Insider report that they have opened preliminary talks to re-sign Palace star Guehi.
However, with Chalobah being brought back into the fold, this could indicate that the club is confident in his ability to fill that role.
