Chelsea Football Club is considering the possibility of recalling their young Argentine defender Aaron Ansellmino to Stamford Bridge ahead of schedule, amid reports of a potential activation of a recall clause in his loan contract, according to the website "CaughtOffside."

The site explained that Chelsea is seriously studying the option to recall Ansellmino due to increasing defensive concerns caused by injuries and instability in the backline recently.

Ansellmino is currently playing this season on loan at Borussia Dortmund, after joining Chelsea as a promising talent. He has previously appeared with the first team during the FIFA Club World Cup, indicating the high level of trust he enjoys within the club.

The same source pointed out that the loan of the Argentine defender to Dortmund was a calculated step aimed at granting him regular playing time at a high level, both domestically and in Europe, to accelerate his technical and physical development.

The loan contract includes a clause that gives Chelsea the right to recall the player if he does not reach a specified number of appearances, which strongly opens the possibility of an early return at this time, according to the same source.

Chelsea is currently suffering from a shortage of defensive options due to physical issues affecting several players, including Levi Colwell and Fofana, which is prompting coach Enzo Mariska to consider recalling Ansellmino to strengthen defensive depth during the mid-season period.
