Werder Bremen winger Kevin De Bruyne has revealed that he will return to his parent club Chelsea at the end of the season.
The 21-year-old joined the Bundesliga outfit on loan from the Blues in the summer on a season-long loan deal.
"I know I have to go back," he told Bild Zeitung. "Chelsea are positive about me.
"Sadly, there is no chance that Werder could extend the loan. If I don't get any playing time at Chelsea, I have to stay in England.
"To loan me to another European club is not an option for Chelsea."
De Bruyne joined Chelsea from KRC Genk in January 2012.
