It has been a quiet weekend for Chelsea after FA Cup defeat to Brighton two weeks ago left them out of both domestic cups. Enzo Maresca has a full week off to prepare for Conference League action on Thursday away at FC Copenhagen.
However, those on loan from Chelsea have been playing, or at least some of them have. With a mixture of players being injured, unavailable, and unfortunate, it was a mixed bag across the board.
The good news is that with 16 players from or previously involved in the first-team squad on loan, there is plenty to look at and analyse. Here, football.london brings you all there is to know from the Chelsea loan army for the past week.
Axel Disasi – Ineligible for Aston Villa’s 2-0 FA Cup fifth round win over Cardiff City on Friday night. Set to return to the team away in Belgium on Tuesday in the Champions League against Club Brugge.
Joao Felix – Played an hour from the start in a 2-1 defeat to Lazio on Sunday, leaving Milan ninth and nine points from the Champions League places. Felix has lost four of his eight games so far including away to Bologna last Thursday, which came after the previous football.london loan roundup.
Lesley Ugochukwu – Not in action after Southampton's premature FA Cup exit. Next up is the daunting task of playing Liverpool at Anfield on Saturday.
Andrey Santos – Returned to the RC Strasbourg side after missing last week's draw due to a yellow card suspension.Played 90 minutes in a 1-0 win over AJ Auxerre to put Liam Rosenior’s side up to seventh and in the mix for a European place.

Raheem Sterling – Had a week off with Arsenal due to the FA Cup fixtures. Will be involved in the squad to travel to the Netherlands ahead of playing PSV Eindhoven on Tuesday.
Ben Chilwell – Completed the full match as Crystal Palace beat Millwall 3-1 to reach the FA Cup quarter-finals. It's the first time he has played 90 minutes in over a year and will be his fifth appearance in the last eight of the competition in six seasons.
Djordje Petrovic – Earned a fourth straight Ligue 1 clean sheet for Strasbourg in the aforementioned victory over Auxerre. He made five saves and denied 1.75xG during the game, winning man of the match.
Carney Chukwuemeka – Managed another 20 minute cameo from the bench for Borussia Dortmund in a 2-0 win over St Pauli. Largely uneventful as he builds up match sharpness and fitness again.
Armando Broja – A mixture of injury and Everton being out of the FA Cup gave him a free weekend. Broja hasn't played since early January and is a doubt for Saturday night's visit to Wolves.
Kepa Arrizabalaga – Progressed through the FA Cup quarter finals after a penalty shootout win over Wolves. Was left floundering at Matheus Cunha's long-range strike which looked impressive but was far from being in the top corner. A goal that Chelsea supporters have seen too often against the world's most expensive No.1 having cost £72million.
Renato Veiga – Still out with injury but reportedly set for a return after the international break. Juventus face Verona on Monday night as they try to make it four consecutive league wins in the tight battle for a Champions League place.
Deivid Washington – Named on the Santos bench for the first time since completing his loan. Unused in a 2-0 win over RB Bragantino in the Campeonato Paulista. Neymar scored again.
Caleb Wiley – Made the Watford bench in a first matchday appearance. He was left as a substitute in a 0-0 draw at Stoke City. Wiley hasn’t played since November 24 due to injury.
Bashir Humphreys – Out of the Burnley team again for an unknown reason. He also missed last week's Championship win over Sheffield Wednesday. Watched on as Scott Parker's side were well beaten 3-0 by Preston North End in a surprise FA Cup loss.
Alfie Gilchrist – No longer making the Sheffield United matchday squads as two more loanees arrived in January and the limit of five has been reached. His last appearance was on January 24.
Mike Penders – Returned to the Genk team after missing the last match with suspension. The match ended 1-1 but Penders is firmly the first choice now.
