Chelsea chief Marina Granovskaia may be preparing to recall youngster Billy Gilmour from Norwich City.

According to the Daily Express, the Blues will bring Gilmour back to the club in January if he is not playing regularly for Norwich between now and the transfer window reopening.

The youngster started the first three Premier League matches of this season for the Canaries, but was dropped to the bench for their following match against Arsenal.

He has not played in the past two matches, with Norwich coach Daniel Farke saying he is under no obligation to involve Gilmour in matchday squads or starting lineups.

"There is no pressure (to play Gilmour). We are not here to develop players for other clubs, we are here to win points for this club," the German told his press conference.

"They want to be Manchester United, Chelsea or Tottenham players one day, so they need to face a challenge and step up to it."
