Crystal Palace manager Oliver Glasner has voiced his frustration over Chelsea’s decision to recall Trevoh Chalobah mid-season after the defender had become an integral part of Palace’s defense.

Glasner praised Chalobah’s professionalism and growth during his loan spell, noting that Chelsea benefited significantly from the arrangement. Palace's fears were realized just before their 2-0 victory over Leicester City, leaving Glasner with mixed emotions about the situation.
