Chelsea gaffer Thomas Tuchel expressed his views on recalling Connor Gallagher from loan in January to bolster the Blues' midfield.
The English midfielder is currently on loan at Crystal Palace. Gallagher has been outstanding so far. He has scored four goals and registered two assists. Fans and pundits want Chelsea to recall Gallagher in January.
Here's what Tuchel said on the subject:
He further added:
Conor Gallagher trained with Chelsea's main squad during pre-reason, before he was sent out on another loan. He was sent on loan to West Bromwich Albion last season and was perhaps the only positive talking point for the relegated club.
Chelsea arguably have the best midfield combination in the world. Mateo Kovacic, Jorginho and N'Golo Kante have looked unsurpassable. Knate on a good day can dominate any position on the pitch while the former two are mind-bendining technicians.
Ruben Loftus-Cheek's resurgence has added much-needed strength to Chelsea's midfield.
Meanwhile, Conor Gallagher made his senior debut for England in their 10-0 mauling of San Marino.
His ability to win duels in the middle of the park coupled with hisability to maintain possession has caught the eyes of fans and pundits. Gallagher's work rate and industry on the pitch make him a suitable fit for Tuchel's Chelsea.
Although Tuchel has expressed his admiration for the 21-year-old, it seems unlikely Gallagher will be recalled from loan in January.

don't be deceived, he can't get playing time when you still have kante, jorginho,kovacic and co. I will love if he can still stay at crystal palace or loan him to elite club so he can gather more experience. by the time Chelsea will need him, he will be on fire🔥.
