Chelsea are set to follow a new loan policy under Todd Boehly in response to FIFA regulations which limit clubs to sending out seven players.
At its peak in 2019 when Roman Abramovich was the owner, Chelsea had 41 players out on loan.
The Stamford Bridge outfit currently has 21 out on loan this season and a total of 31 first-team players.
The new strategy will be led by sporting directors Paul Winstanley and Laurence Stewart and only genuine first-team prospects will be sent out, according to the Evening Standard.
