Poch was speaking in a press conference ahead of the semi-final game against Middlesbrough in the Carabao Cup. According to him, Andrey Santos will return to Brazil for a month before the club decides what the future holds for the player.

"Andrey is now going to Brazil to join the national team for a month. During this time, we will decide if it's good to move on loan or stay with us once he comes back from Brazil."

Chelsea had initially recalled Santos from Nottingham Forest after he was not given game time during his six-month loan spell at the club which started in the 2022 summer transfer window.

The Blues confirmed the arrival of Andrey Santos on its official website on Tuesday, January 2, 2024. According to reports from Chelsea, the decision to recall the Brazilian international was because of the lack of game time he got at Forest.

The 19-year-old joined the Reds in the 2023 summer transfer window and made his debut under then-head coach Steve Cooper a few days later in a Carabao Cup defeat to Burnley.

He made his Premier League debut followed at the end of October, when he was introduced from the substitutes’ bench against Liverpool at Anfield. However, Santos didn’t feature under new Forest head coach Nuno Espirito Santos.

Recall that he joined Chelsea during the 2023 January transfer window from Vasco da Gama before returning to the Brazilian side on loan, he was also impressive for the Blues during the 2023/24 pre-season games.
