Chelsea have officially recalled 20-year-old defender Mamadou Sarr from his loan at Strasbourg following his successful Africa Cup of Nations campaign with Senegal.
Mamadou Sarr has returned to Chelsea following a productive loan spell with Strasbourg. The 20-year-old, who signed for the Blues in June, made 18 appearances in Ligue 1 and the Conference League.
Sarr previously debuted for Chelsea during their successful Club World Cup campaign against ES Tunis, solidifying his status as a rising prospect within the first-team setup before his move to France.
The defender returns to London as a continental champion after earning his first Senegal caps in November.
Sarr featured throughout the Africa Cup of Nations, ultimately starting the final where Senegal secured a dramatic 1-0 extra-time victory over Morocco.
After proving his mettle on the international stage and gaining consistent European experience, the versatile youngster now rejoins Enzo Maresca’s squad for the season’s remainder.
