Chelsea are reportedly weighing the option of recalling Trevoh Chalobah from his loan spell at Crystal Palace. While the defender has been in strong form for Palace, many Chelsea fans are conflicted about the potential move, given his earlier treatment by the club.
Trevoh Chalobah, who has been impressing at Crystal Palace this season, could be heading back to Stamford Bridge. The 25-year-old has been a standout performer under Palace manager Oliver Glasner, with the coach even hinting at a permanent move for the defender.
Chalobah’s solid form at Palace contrasts with his time at Chelsea, where he was excluded from the first team by manager Enzo Maresca during the summer, with the club placing a £25 million price tag on him.
It was initially believed that there was no break clause in his loan deal, but recent reports suggest there is one. However, this potential recall has sparked mixed reactions among Chelsea fans.
Some supporters are outraged at the idea, criticizing the club for freezing out Chalobah earlier in the season only to now reconsider his future.
One fan expressed on Twitter, “Calling back Chalobah after freezing him is a huge disgrace to the board.” Others echoed similar sentiments, with concerns that the defender would not be given sufficient playing time upon his return.
On the other hand, some fans see Chalobah as a valuable asset who could help address Chelsea’s current defensive woes.
These supporters argue that Chalobah’s familiarity with the club and his solid performances for Palace make him a good option to bolster the squad.
Crystal Palace, meanwhile, appears relaxed about the situation, with manager Glasner confident that Chalobah will remain at the club for the rest of the season.
Glasner emphasized that he is pleased with Chalobah’s contributions and that Palace has been planning around his presence.
