EPL: You’re not part of my plans – Xabi Alonso informs Chelsea player

Chelsea manager, Xabi Alonso, has informed Kendry Paez that he will not be part of his squad.

This comes after Paez’s loan deal at River Plate was terminated.

The 19-year-old is yet to feature for the Blues since arriving from Independiente del Valle last summer.

Paez is back at Stamford Bridge after his loan at River Plate was cut short at the end of last month.

Chelsea made attempts to find the Ecuador international another loan in England before the domestic transfer deadline on September 1, but nothing was finalised.

Alonso has now confirmed the teenager will not be reintergrated into the first team before the January window opens.

“At the moment he is not part of the first-team squad. He’s not in our plans,” Alonso said.
