Chelsea are a club frequently mocked for their “loan army”—a so-called horde of players, ranging from teenage years to mid-20s, spread across the world playing football in temporary destinations.
In this past transfer window, the Blues sent a whopping 38 out to play football away from the confines of Stamford Bridge and Cobham, with the likelihood that each might return to play first-team football under head coach Antonio Conte varying greatly.
There are those who who no fan truly believes they will see turn out in Chelsea blue, such as Jamal Blackman or Lucas Piazon.
