“Wasting his time” – These Chelsea fans demand loanee is recalled after being dropped to the bench | OneFootball

Some Chelsea fans on Twitter have demanded that the club recall Billy Gilmour after he was left out of the starting XI to face Brighton on Saturday afternoon.

Gilmour, 20, is regarded as one of the finest British talents in the game at the moment. Any player who makes 22 appearances for a club of Chelsea’s stature as a teenager must be special, with the Scotsman also being a mainstay in midfield for his national team.

Though Thomas Tuchel will likely have found a use for Gilmour this term in lesser competitions, the decision was made to send him out on loan to Premier League new-boys Norwich in hope that he would be able to play regular top division football, that would aid his development.
