Patrick Vieira tells Conor Gallagher to snub Thomas Tuchel and Chelsea return for one reason
Patrick Vieira's desire to keep Chelsea loanee Conor Gallagher at Selhurst Park means the
Blues may find themselves in a similar situation to when Armando Broja joined Southampton on
loan.
Ralph Hasenhuttl is a manager desperate to see the Chelsea loanee extend his stay on
the South Coast with the Saints after his impressive campaign so far but that would
mean leaving west London permanently.
Now, Patrick Vieira has joined the Austrian manager in pleading to another Chelsea loanee
as he tries to convince Conor Gallagher that Crystal Palace is the best place for his career
at the moment.
"We didn’t speak about it," the Arsenal legend said in his pre-match press conference
on Friday afternoon when asked about if he's had any conversations with Gallagher regarding
his future after this season.
"We know we’ll have him for the year then we never know.
I believe when you look at the way he plays he’s really happy here."
Thomas Tuchel has confirmed he has a full compliment of his players to choose from for
the Carabao Cup final against Liverpool, outside of Ben Chilwell, who remains out for the season.
The Blues had concerns over four players going into the fixture but Reece James made his
long-awaited return to Chelsea training on Thursday afternoon after being out with a
hamstring injury he suffered against Brighton in December.
Mateo Kovacic and Hakim Ziyech both undertook recovery work with the rest of Chelsea's starting
XI on the same afternoon, despite needing to be substituted in the win against Lille
in the Champions League.
Callum Hudson-Odoi has missed Chelsea's last two matches due to a sore Achilles, but along
with the players above was involved in training on Friday ahead of the match against Liverpool.
Tuchel said: "We had training today with everyone out on the pitch except for Ben Chilwell which
is brilliant news and this is pretty much it.
Both okay, since today.
"They were not only on the pitch with separate programmes, everybody joined team training
from the first to the last minute.
We have no reactions at the moment but positive reactions."
