Chelsea will reportedly be unable to recall Tammy Abraham from his loan spell at Bristol City until the end of the season.
The highly-rated striker joined the Robins on loan in the summer and has scored 11 times in 14 appearances for the Championship outfit this season.
It had been thought that Blues boss Antonio Conte wanted to bring the 19-year-old back to Stamford Bridge in January, but according to the Evening Standard, Chelsea did not include a recall clause in the loan agreement.
London-born Abraham, who made his first-team Chelsea debut towards the end of last season, has scored twice in two appearances for England's Under-21 outfit.
