Chelsea Recalls Caleb Wiley From Watford Loan Over Injury

Chelsea will evaluate the 21-year-old's fitness following limited minutes in a second spell at Watford.

Overview

  • Both clubs confirmed on Friday that Wiley's loan was ended early and he has returned to Chelsea.
  • A lingering injury was cited for the recall, with Yahoo Sports reporting it is believed to be an adductor issue suffered in October against Oxford.
  • Wiley has made five appearances this season, last featuring in October and missing the subsequent 17 matches, per reporting.
  • Across two stints at Watford he logged 15 appearances with 11 starts and one assist, and he also played six times on loan at Strasbourg last season.
  • Chelsea signed Wiley from Atlanta United in 2024 for a fee reported near $11 million, and he has yet to make his first-team debut for the club.
