Billy Gilmour returns to Chelsea to assess an ankle injury set to keep him out for three-four weeks... but Norwich boss Dean Smith does not expect his parent club to end the loan spell early

Norwich midfielder Billy Gilmour, who is currently on loan from Chelsea, has returned to his parent club in London to receive an ankle injury assessment, Dean Smith has revealed.

Speaking at a press conference ahead of his side's trip to West Ham on Wednesday, Canaries boss Smith provided an update on Gilmour's fitness but also said that he did not believe Gilmour's loan spell would be cut short.

'Billy has got a high ankle (sprain) injury so it will probably put him out for three or four weeks,' he said.
