Roy Hodgson: Loftus-Cheek can go back to Chelsea if...

Crystal Palace manager, Roy Hodgson has stated that only lack of playing time will force Chelsea to recall Ruben Loftus-Cheek to Stamford Bridge.
Loftus-Cheek who scored for Palace in their 2-1 win over Stoke yesterday is enjoying a fruitful time on loan at Crystal Palace. He is now one of their most important players and is expected to be in the starting XI any time is fit and available, which is positive for Crystal Palace according to manager, Roy Hodgson
"I have a feeling that they have the right to call him back if he is not playing enough games or featuring in enough games, which is a good clause," said the former England manager.

"If you are loaning out players who you believe in to get playing time, and the clubs aren't using the player, then I think you are entitled to bring them back.

"I think that clause exists. That is, I suppose, a risk for us. If we suddenly decide we don’t want to use him then he could go back."

"We are enjoying having him with us and using him in our team, so I don’t think I have to fear that at this moment in time," said Hodgson.

Loftus-Cheek has played nine league games out of 13 for Palace this season, with injury sidelining the youngster in September.
