Report: Chelsea consider Patrick Bamford recall

Chelsea may recall Patrick Bamford from Crystal Palace in January due to a lack of playing time, according to a report.

Chelsea are reportedly concerned by the lack of playing time that Patrick Bamford has received during his loan stint with Crystal Palace.

The England Under-21 international joined the Eagles for the season in the summer, but since then he has featured for just 16 minutes as a substitute in the Premier League.

That is believed to have alerted the Blues, who sent the 22-year-old to Selhurst Park in the hope that he would be exposed to regular action in the top flight.

According to the London Evening Standard, Chelsea inserted a clause in the deal that will allow them to recall Bamford in January, which is a prospect that is now under consideration.

The report adds that midfielder Nathaniel Chalobah has found himself in a similar situation at Napoli and he could also return to Stamford Bridge this winter.
