The Blues are unwilling to allow their loanee to face them in their upcoming match at Wembley Stadium next week
Chelsea have denied Crystal Palace's request to allow Conor Gallagher special dispensation to face his parent club in the FA Cup semi-final.
Even though the loan contract forbids them from using the England international against the Blues, changes could have been made to allow it.
The 22-year-old was not involved in the talks and didn't appeal to his parent club to play.

Will he be missed?
Patrick Vieira's side are on a fantastic run of form, winning four of their last five matches.
Indeed, Gallagher has been a huge part of that run and has played in 31 matches, including all four of his side's FA Cup matches thus far.
Furthermore, he has been decisive in the final third, racking up eight goals and five assists in all competitions.
Gareth Southgate has noticed his excellent form on loan and called up Gallagher during the last two international breaks, allowing him to play three times for the England men's national team.
Will he return to Chelsea in the summer?
Thomas Tuchel is understood to be a huge admirer of Gallagher and tried to keep him with the squad over the summer.
The west Londoners subsequently allowed the homegrown star to go on loan because the player believed he would get more minutes at Palace.
The Blues are now strongly considering keeping him with the squad next season and giving him a prominent role.
Clubs, including Palace, have inquired about signing him on a permanent deal.
However, the Blues were quoting at least £50 million ($65m) needed to start a conversation over a transfer, pricing many potential suitors out of a move.
His current contract at Stamford Bridge runs until June 2025.

I guess what this dude tryna say is just as a respond to some man united and liverpool’s fans here in the comment section saying its an embarassing decision as chelsea wont let him play against them. I mean its quite an easy decision really,callagher is one of the main players in the opposition’s team,why would chelsea let him play against them and make the opponent’s even better? Any club would do the same thing,to not risk anything at this point. Chelsea dont want to be blamed if they lost and callagher was one of the key players behind it,when the contract clearly says he’s not supposed to play against his parent club. And the fact that this dude stated that the contract is on until 2025 is because chelsea does have future plans with him to be one of our players in the future,not just to offload/loan flop players who arent performing to other clubs. Chill down mate.
You're more rational than that simpleton was. The dunce just came under someone's comment to call someone he doesn't know stupid. Who does that?

I think Liverpool fans are talking too much on this issue because then are they going to get Chelsea in the final and this time they are going to lose so that's why they're talking too much because they want Crystal palace to go through but unfortunately that is not going to happen he's not going to play again it stays on top other clubs don't do it why should we do it and

Liverpool you should be afraid of Chelsea because I don't think VAR will do favour for you this time again. Lukaku's goal in carabao cup final is still waiting.

That's personal opinion dear and I respect you. The fact will remain fact Chelsea is playing another final either like it or NOT. Just start keeping money so that maybe you can manage to buy the so called VAR since its your saviour in terms of disallowing goals. EG Lukaku's goal during carabao cup final.
VAR removed lukaku and matip goals so it was fair anyways we counted one trophy already

Chelsea is NOT afraid of anything but following what the law say. Why should law change only when Chelsea is playing? what about other teams did they allow their players to play against them? Anyway Chelsea is heading to another final either you like it or NOT

So why loan him, if you don't want him to test himself against the best, which includes you? Only in England you see such absurd rules.

If law says he can't play, Who are we to say he can? NO matter how bad coin it's, it must have two sides. You shouldn't blame Chelsea BUT the one who brought that law.

And you sound like an abject imbecile who due to lack of proper upbringing from home, thinks it ideal to be insolent to a total stranger. So if your parents didn't teach you manners, you must go about exposing their obvious parental deficiency? Disgusting..🤮

A lonee should always be ineligible to play for parent club as it could Detroit the relation between any two parties or fans hence playing a big outcome in future.

This is not a story because we all know that a loan player will never play against his team as long as he is playing in the same league
