Casadei is making a return to Chelsea as the club officially announced his recall from a loan spell at Leicester, where he amassed 25 appearances and scored three goals. The 21-year-old is set to commence training with the Chelsea squad, aiming to contribute in the latter part of the season under Pochettino.
Pochettino seems convinced of Casadei’s capability to contribute to Chelsea’s campaign, as the Blues reportedly view him as having “significant potential” and the ability to make an “immediate impact” on the squad, as per Fabrizio Romano. Despite joining Chelsea from Inter in 2022, Casadei is yet to make his senior debut and faces competition for playing time, contending with players like Enzo Fernandez, Conor Gallagher, and Moises Caicedo.
In addition to Casadei, Chelsea has also recalled Andrey Santos from a loan stint with Nottingham Forest. Santos may see action in the latter part of the season, especially with Lesley Ugochukwu joining Romeo Lavia on the injury list.
As Chelsea gears up for crucial fixtures, including the Carabao Cup semi-final second leg against Middlesbrough and subsequent matches against Aston Villa in the FA Cup and Liverpool in the Premier League, the return of Casadei and Santos could provide valuable options for Pochettino’s squad.
