Chelsea have confirmed that Cesare Casadei has been recalled from his loan with Leicester City, with the youngster set to join Mauricio Pochettino?s first-team squad.
The 21-year-old established himself as an important player for the Foxes and helped them climb to the summit of the Championship table, netting three goals along the way.
Despite Casadei being exposed to regular football and developing rapidly, Chelsea have decided to exercise a break clause in his loan deal.
The west London club confirmed the decision on Friday evening in a brief statement, with the Italian returning to Cobham immediately.
According to Fabrizio Romano, Chelsea?s intention is for Casadei to be involved in the first-team squad for the remainder of the season rather than be sent out on loan again.
He has impressed enormously at the King Power Stadium and the Blues feel he is ready to contribute immediately.
Casadei will begin training with Pochettino and the first team in the coming days and could even be in contention to make the matchday squad for their FA Cup fourth-round tie against Aston Villa in a week?s time.
