Kevin De Bruyne set for Chelsea return from Werder Bremen

Werder Bremen winger Kevin De Bruyne has revealed that he will return to his parent club Chelsea at the end of the season.

The 21-year-old joined the Bundesliga outfit on loan from the Blues in the summer on a season-long loan deal.

"I know I have to go back," he told Bild Zeitung. "Chelsea are positive about me.

"Sadly, there is no chance that Werder could extend the loan. If I don't get any playing time at Chelsea, I have to stay in England.

"To loan me to another European club is not an option for Chelsea."

De Bruyne joined Chelsea from KRC Genk in January 2012.
