SportsKendry Paez reportedly out of Chelsea’s first-team plans after two loans cut short
The Athletic reports that the 19-year-old has played the equivalent of just 13 full first-team club matches since the end of 2024 and was left out of Ecuador’s latest squad.
TLDR
The Athletic reports that Kendry Paez is back at Chelsea after two loan spells were cut short, but is now with the club’s under-21s. Chelsea manager Xabi Alonso said he was “not part of the first team squad, not part of the plans.” The report describes Paez as an under-21 substitute based on his three appearances so far. It also stresses that his technical ability remains and that, at 19, his current difficulties could still prove a blip.
