News in brief: Davey loan deal extended but Chalobah returns

Nathaniel Chalobah
The England Under-21 midfielder has returned to Chelsea after his loan spell at Burnley came to an end. Chalobah made only four appearances for the Clarets, all as a substitute, after moving to Turf Moor at the end of August.

Christian Atsu
The Chelsea winger, currently on loan at Everton, has been given a chance by Ghana to prove his fitness ahead of this month’s Africa Cup of Nations.

Atsu, last week named in the Black Stars’ provisional squad for the tournament despite a hamstring injury, returned to the Toffees’ squad on New Year’s Day but did not come off the bench and has not played in three weeks.

The 22-year-old has not joined the rest of the Ghana squad in Accra, but instead will link up with them at a training camp in Spain to give him extra time to recover.

Alex Davey
Chelsea’s 20-year-old defender has extended his loan deal at Scunthorpe United for a further month. The Scotland Under-19 centre-back has made four appearances for the League One side since joining in November. A regular for the Blues’ Under-21s, Davey was part of the Chelsea team that won the FA Youth Cup in 2012.

Brentford
The Bees’ development squad’s league match with Charlton on Monday has been postponed. The team’s first game of 2015 will now be away to Bristol City on 12 January.

Jack Bonham
The Brentford goalkeeper has agreed a new three-and-a-half year contract at Griffin Park. The 21-year-old, whose previous deal was due to expire in the summer, has featured in every matchday squad since the end of August, as backup to first-choice keeper David Button. He made three senior appearances last season, after joining from Watford.

Niamh Fahey
Chelsea Ladies’ new signing has been named in a Republic of Ireland squad for a training camp in La Manga from 12-16 January. Fahey, 27, who joined the Blues from Arsenal last month, has won 50 caps for her country.
