What is Chelsea plan for Cesare Casadei after Leicester loan recall? Fabrizio Romano answers

Cesare Casadei will be part of Chelsea's first-team squad for the second half of the season, Fabrizio Romano reports.

The Italian midfielder has just been recalled from Leicester where he played on loan.

"Cesare Casadei will start training under Mauricio Pochettino already today as Chelsea decided to recall him," Romano tweeted on Saturday.

"Understand club believes Casadei has huge potential and can help the squad with immediate effect."

Another factor that contributed to Chelsea's decision was Lesley Ugochukwu's hamstring injury, which was more serious than predicted.

At Leicester, Casadei made 22 Championship appearances, starting eight games and scoring two goals.
