Recall youngsters from loan
If you start counting from the morning, the amount of players Chelsea have sent out on loan, you’d end up getting to know about the last player by evening. The Blues have sent a total of 38 players out on loan, most of them youngsters. Replacements in the defense is what they needed and Mourinho failed to realize that.
They’ve got decent young defensive players such as Andreas Christensen, Nathan Ake and Tomas Kalas out on loan at Borussia Monchengladbach, Watford and Middlesbrough respectively and all three of them have been doing well too. Young players’ inclusion makes the team forget about their worries, bringing freshness and a new hope into the side. And if they’re defensive-minded youngsters, they’d help Mourinho a great deal.
