Huddersfield understand why on-loan midfielder Kasey Palmer was recalled by Chelsea and have no issues with the decision.

Palmer had spent the last 18 months at the club but missed a number of games in 2017 through injury.

Huddersfield boss David Wagner explained: "I wasn't surprised that Chelsea called him (Palmer) back as he was not involved as much as we thought he would be. I really like him, he is a great guy and he helped us massively especially last season to get us promoted.

"He needs more playing time and unfortunately we were unable to give him that. I not only accept the decision by Chelsea but I understand the decision. I wish Kasey from the bottom of my heart only the very best for the rest of the season."
