Given how thing<\/p>\n<p>The good news is that the youngster seems to be ok after the vicious clash of heads. He\u2019ll need a few days off, but should be playing again soon. The real question now is what to do with him next season.<\/p>\n<h2>Derry loan to Coventry makes sense for both sides<\/h2>\n<p>While he impressed on his debut, the club are going to have a lot of wing options available to them next season. Geovany Quenda is coming in, Jamie Gittens will be back fit too. Derry will be pretty low on the first team pecking order. That\u2019s why a loan sounds so tempting, and Frank Lampard\u2019s promoted Coventry team have been mentioned.<\/p>\n<p>The Sky Blues would get a really promising attacking option to strengthen their squad in the Premier League for almost no cost. Chelsea would see one of their top talents developing under a manager they trust.<\/p>\n<h2>In other news\u2026<\/h2>\n<p>Estevao is trying to avoid having surgery on his hamstring problem so that he can race back and be fit for the World Cup \u2013 that\u2019s a decision we\u2019re really not sure about.<\/p>\n<p>Joel Ordonez has impressed Chelsea scouts over a number of years, and there\u2019s a push to get him signed in the summer.<\/p>\n<p><strong>DOWNLOAD THE OFFICIAL CHELSEA NEWS APP FOR ALL THE LATEST UPDATES \u2013 STRAIGHT TO YOUR PHONE!
