A number of the players who made a big impact in the early stages of Chelsea’s Conference League campaign are curently playing their football elsewhere until the end of the season.
The highest-profile exit in the January transfer window was Joao Felix, however his time at AC Milan has turned into a nightmare.
Felix is now out of the starting side as they make a desperate attempt to save some sort of European qualification for next season.
Elsewhere in Serie A, Renato Veiga has finally gotten his wish and is playing regularly at the heart of defence for Juventus.
Chelsea loanee Renato Veiga picks up Player of the Match for Juventus
It was reported this request was why he left Chelsea in the first place, with him being seen as the deputy left-back by the club behind Marc Cucurella in the pecking order.
After a strong start to life in Italy, it has been reported that Chelsea are open to letting Veiga leave permanently at the end of the season, with them hoping to make a significant profit on the Portugal international.
His latest performance will have done their hopes of a move no harm either. Veiga was awarded Player of the Match for his display in a 2-0 win over Monza in Serie A.

Chelsea target sent off as Veiga stars
As Juventus were lining up for a crucial game, Kenan Yildiz was named in attack as they looked to bolster their chances of competing in the Champions League next season.
However, the Turkey international was only able to complete the first half, with him being sent off in the final moments of the first 45 minutes.
It has been reported that Chelsea are pushing to complete the signing of Yildiz, with a number of top European sides interested in his signature.
It remains to be seen if some sort of business can be done where both players head in opposite directions, with the Blues likely to want to get down the £86m fee Juventus are reportedly holding out for.
