Chelsea manager Mauricio Pochettino has provided insight into the decision to recall midfielder Andrey Santos from his loan spell at Nottingham Forest. Addressing the matter in his pre-match press conference ahead of Chelsea’s FA Cup third-round encounter with Preston on Saturday, Pochettino emphasized that the decision stemmed from Santos’ lack of consistent involvement in Nottingham Forest’s squads.

“We opted to bring back André Santos because he wasn’t regularly featured in the squads at Nottingham Forest. His participation was not consistent every week,” Pochettino explained. “Bringing him back allows us to assess his situation and make the best decision for both him and the team. We’ll see how it unfolds.”
