Jesse Derry not an option at Sporting, Chelsea return mooted | OneFootball

Jesse Derry arrived at Sporting on loan and quickly stood out during pre-season, but the situation has changed since the official start of the campaign. The youngster has fallen down the pecking order and, so far, has been used in only three of the seven official matches played by the Lions, always coming on as a substitute.

It reports dissatisfaction among Chelsea fans, who believe that the loan move to Alvalade is not allowing the youngster to get the minutes he needs.

On social media, some Blues supporters have even argued that the winger should return. One of the comments says the loan is turning out to be of little benefit: “What a pointless loan. Sporting are chasing the title, they don’t have time to spend developing other clubs’ young players.”

“It’s the wrong decision, clearly he wasn’t ready to make the big step up, they should have loaned him to the Championship or use him in the under-21 team. Stalling his development is simply not an option. His talent is too great.”
