Bad news for Charly Musonda

One of Chelsea’s loanees is back at Stamford Bridge.

20-year-old attacking midfielder Charly Musonda has travelled back to Chelsea on Thursday in an effort to cure an ongoing knee problem.

Musonda went on loan to Betis during the summer transfer window after he already spent the second part of last season at the Andalusian side.

However his appearances this season have been limited due to his knee issues.

Betis to cut the Belgian?

As reported by AS on Thursday, Betis are now considering to cut Charly Musonda’s loan deal short to end in January.

Miguel Torrecilla, Betis sporting director, is quoted saying:

I understand [the deal may end in January], because it is normal a big club wants one of his values plays.

He is a [Chelsea] player but we’ll see what happens between now and then, and the end of campaign.

Should Musonda return to Chelsea, it’s unlikely he’ll find his way into the first team anytime soon.

Provided he can regain fitness, one suspects the Blues will be looking to loan him out again in the near future.
