Conor Gallagher explains his Chelsea and Crystal Palace plan following FA Cup semi-final absence

Conor Gallagher is not yet considering where his future lies come the summer as he enters the final seven matches remaining of his Crystal Palace spell. The Chelsea midfielder has enjoyed an outstanding season on loan at Selhurst Park, recording eight goals and five assists as well as earning his first start for the senior England side.

The 22-year-old has been a crucial figure for Patrick Vieira's Eagles but was unavailable for their FA Cup semi-final defeat to the Blues after not receiving permission from the club to appear in the match. Gallagher was still in attendance at Wembley the pleasure of a number of Palace fans ahead of the game but could only watch on as goals from Ruben Loftus-Cheek and Mason Mount separated the sides.

Gallagher's spell in south London is his fourth loan away from Stamford Bridge having also enjoyed temporary moves to Charlton, Swansea and West Brom. This summer has been touted as pivotal one for the youngster's future, with the possibility of being involved with the Blues first team touted against the possibility of following in the footsteps of Marc Guehi. Gallagher claims he is only thinking about the remainder of the season however.
