Chelsea 'could send goalkeeper Gabriel Slonina BACK to Chicago Fire on loan in 2023'... with the Premier League side 'looking to develop the youngster away from Stamford Bridge'

Gabriel Slonina could be back in Major League Soccer in 2023, with his new club Chelsea prepared for him to continue his development away from Stamford Bridge.

That's according to The Athletic, who say that the London side that signed the 18-year-old for $15million this summer will weigh up how best for him to develop later this year.

The publication says that one option could be for him to return to his boyhood team, Chicago Fire, for another season.
