Every few seasons, Crystal Palace fans fall into the same trap: They fall in love with a loan player from Chelsea. First it was Ruben Loftus-Cheek. Then it was Michy Batshuayi (the first time round when he could actually score goals). Then it was Conor Gallagher.

Chelsea have officially recalled Trevoh Chalobah from his loan spell at Crystal Palace. The Blues academy graduate returns to the club after six months spent at Selhurst Park in which he managed to establish himself as a key part in Oliver Glasner's side.

The Eagles have now confirmed has been recalled to Chelsea, ensuring he will not feature in the Palace squad for Wednesday's Premier League meeting with Crystal Palace. In a statement, Palace said: "Crystal Palace can confirm that Chelsea have activated an option to recall Trevoh Chalobah from his loan spell. The defender will return to Chelsea."

The centre-half was due to play the FA Cup third round tie against Stockport County, so why was he prevented from taking part?

Short-lived Selhurst Park spell clearly made a big impact on Blues defender, who is heading back to Stamford Bridge

After some confusing messaging and conflicting rumors earlier this month, Chelsea appear to have made the decision to recall Trevoh Chalobah from Crystal Palace, as first reported by The Athletic. Chalobah has not traveled with Palace to Leicester for their match tonight.
