Chelsea have exercised their recall option to bring Trevoh Chalobah back from Crystal Palace, talkSPORT understands.
The Blues are currently in the midst of a mini-injury crisis with centre-backs Wesley Fofana and Benoit Badiashile out of action.
Meanwhile Axel Disasi is facing an uncertain future at Stamford Bridge following a below-par season so far.
The Frenchman was a notable omission from Enzo Maresca‘s squad that drew 2-2 to Bournemouth on Tuesday night to further raise questions about his role in the team.
It is believed that the ex-Monaco star is a target for Juventus ahead of a possible winter switch to Turin.
Academy graduate Josh Acheampong started alongside Levi Colwill against the Cherries, but Maresca will have a new option to choose from when they face Wolves next Monday.
That is because Chelsea have made the decision to recall Chalobah, who has been a mainstay in Palace’s backline this season.
Since recovering from an injury at the start of the campaign, the 25-year-old started in 12 out of the Eagles’ last 14 Premier League matches.
talkSPORT also understands that Marc Guehi – linked with a transfer back to Chelsea this month – is now expected to remain at Selhurst Park until at least the summer.
Chalobah was deemed surplus to requirements last summer despite playing a key role under Mauricio Pochettino last season.
The Blues signed Tosin Adarabioyo on a free transfer, but the ex-Fulham star has found himself behind 18-year-old Acheampong in Maresca’s pecking order.
