Tuchel finally reveals a decision would be made on midfielder’s return to Stamford Bridge in January
Thomas Tuchel, Chelsea boss has hinted that he will make a decision whether Chelsea FC will recall Billy Gilmour from his loan spell at Norwich City or not in January.
Chelsea FC midfielder Gilmour has so far only started four games with Norwich in the Premier League and it remains to be seen whether he will feature more regularly in coming games as manager Daniel Farke has been sacked.
“We’ll take the decision in January, when the decision has to be made, not now,” said Tuchel when quizzed about a possible return to Stamford Bridge for Gilmour in January.
Asked about the original decision to send him out on loan, he added: “The things were clear when we decided together that he is looking for more minutes and more game time in another club. The challenge was clear that he needs to fight his way through.
“Right now things are not going as he maybe wishes and we all wish for, but now is not the moment to already give solutions and cancel the whole project.
“Sometimes these weeks and months arrive when the situation seems to be stuck or it seems not to go the right way. You have to hang in there, you have to show your quality and you have to make sure you help your team, no matter where it is. That sharpens your character. That will be making a big chapter in your career.
“For me, right now it is not the moment to already give solutions for January and open the talks to bring him back.
“Now it is November and there is still a lot of time to prove that he has enough quality to help Norwich to be a better team.”
