Reports have claimed that Chelsea have added yet another long-term injury problem to the evergrowing list at Stamford Bridge.
According to the Evening Standard, loanee Angelo Gabriel has returned to the club following a hernia problem suffered while in France.
Angelo has been on loan at Strasbourg this season, where things got off to a great start in the early months.

How is Angelo’s loan going?
He established himself as one of their more important players in the early stages of the campaign, even picking up their in-house player of the month award.
However, in line with the club’s fall in form, things have begun to go not so well for the Brazilian either.
He is still yet to score a goal this season, despite now playing 25 games in all competitions.
Angelo has recently been joined at the club by Andrey Santos, who the club have high hopes for in the future.

Angelo injured and back at Chelsea
While the winger had at least been featuring semi-regularly, it looks as if he may have done for the last time this season, after returning to Cobham off the back of a reported injury.
He has only joined a handful of crucial first team players who are suffering with their own issues right now.
Romeo Lavia and Christopher Nkunku have hardly featured at all this season between each other despite being brought in for big money over the summer and expected to make a difference to the squad.
Club captain Reece James has also endured another nightmare campaign, with him now undergoing surgery to try and sort out an ongoing issue that has affected his hamstrings.
