Crystal Palace are confident Chelsea won't seek to recall Conor Gallagher.

The 21-year-old will see out his loan spell with Crystal Palace that expires at the end of the season, according to football.london.

Gallagher is understood to be willing to return to boyhood club Chelsea should he be called upon, but is not expecting the phone to ring.

Thomas Tuchel though may have been tempted to recall Gallagher given the number of Chelsea stars currently in the treatment room at their Cobham base.

That's after Gallagher has contributed four goals and provided three assists in 14 Premier League games so far this season from midfield.

And it's in the middle of the park where Tuchel is currently lacking options.
