Glasner clears the air on Chalobah's future
Crystal Palace manager Oliver Glasner has downplayed concerns over the possibility of Chelsea recalling Trevoh Chalobah from his loan spell.
Chalobah was ineligible to feature as Palace secured a last-gasp 1-1 draw against Chelsea, his parent club. With Chelsea dealing with defensive injuries to Wesley Fofana and Benoit Badiashile, speculation has emerged that the Blues might cut short Chalobah's loan.
When asked about the recall scenario, Glasner dismissed the idea, stating, "No. For me right now, Trevor is doing very well for us and we are planning with him. I could see that there was Axel Disasi and Tosin on the bench today. So, they had two centre-halves on the bench. I don't know if you need [more centre-backs] when you play with two. I was just reading, Anselmino comes back, so then they have five. If they need eight, maybe, I don't know what they are planning."

Emery Confirms Loan Plans for Kosta Nedeljkovic
Aston Villa manager Unai Emery has revealed that 19-year-old defender Kosta Nedeljkovic could leave the club on loan during the January transfer window.
Nedeljkovic, who joined Villa from Red Star Belgrade for £6.3 million last year, officially linked up with the squad this summer after completing a loan stint at his former club. Despite his promise, the Serbian defender has yet to make a Premier League start, prompting the club to consider a temporary move to help him gain experience.
"We have Kosta [Nedeljkovic] and sometimes Bogarde played there," Emery said.
"With Kosta, we have a plan. Firstly it was to do the pre-season, secondly we decided to keep him in the squad for the first part of the season. I think he will need to get minutes, get confidence and feel comfortable playing and here it is difficult for him to get it. One option is to let him go on loan. In case he is going on loan, as we planned it in the last weeks, we are as well trying to find something for the right side."
