Some Surprise Names Will Be Returning To Chelsea Next Season

Chelsea's squad could have a very different, and surprising, look to it next season, after the UK government announced sanctions against Roman Abramovich.

No players can be bought, or even sign a new contract, and they can't be sold either, meaning that Thomas Tuchel will have to make do with his current squad. That will also mean that players who are currently on loan will be back at Stamford Bridge next year.

Whilst the likes of Connor Gallagher, Billy Gilmour and Armando Broja might actually be welcomed with open arms, there is some names fans wouldn't have necessarily been expecting back.

In defence, Ethan Ampadu, Emerson Palmieri, Matt Miazga and Baba Rahman could all feature after being on loan, which might actually help the Blues massively.

In midfield, Gallagher and Gilmour could certainly be of use, especially considering the former's form whilst on loan at Crystal Palace this season.

Broja has been in impressive form for Southampton on loan this season, with the Albanian forward having scored six times in the league, and the Saints might have wanted to keep him for another year or sign him permanently, if they could.

The 20-year-old isn't the only forward who could come back to west London though, with Michy Batshuayi also set to return, after signing a new contract until 2023 before joining Besiktas on loan for this season.

Tuchel's side were expected to challenge for the title this season, but, after initially making it look like a three horse race, their form fell off.

He would no doubt have needed and wanted reinforcements in the summer, however now he'll have to make do with a horde of returning loanees.

Which player currently not at the club do you think will make the biggest impact?
