Chelsea have already recalled Trevoh Chalobah from his loan at Crystal Palace to mitigate defensive injuries, and fans are now calling for a similar move for Andrey Santos. Santos, on loan at Strasbourg, has impressed this season with consistent performances, showing maturity and skill that could bolster Chelsea's midfield. Manager Enzo Maresca has previously praised Santos’ potential and hinted at his readiness to step into the team.
- Chalobah’s Recall Sets a Precedent: The decision to bring Chalobah back highlights Chelsea’s willingness to prioritise their squad's immediate needs over loan agreements.
- Santos’ Strong Form at Strasbourg: The Brazilian midfielder has excelled in Ligue 1, contributing both defensively and offensively, making him a viable option for Chelsea’s midfield rotation.
- Maresca’s Faith in Santos: The Chelsea manager sees Santos as a long-term asset and could integrate him into the squad as an alternative to Romeo Lavia, whose fitness remains a concern.
