Malo Gusto has endured a whirlwind first four months as an official Chelsea player. Even before his confirmed signing as a new right-back for the Blues, the transfer saga between Lyon and Chelsea was chaotic before the two parties eventually agreed on a £26.3 million deal in January that would see the teenager return to France on loan for the remainder of the season.
Unfortunately, Gusto suffered a worrying hamstring injury in just his second game back at Lyon with Chelsea then confirming in mid-February he would complete his rehabilitation at Cobham. News on his recovery subsequently went quiet over the following few weeks which was said to have angered Lyon and manager Laurent Blanc, as per Leprogres.
The 19-year-old returned to the matchday squad for Lyon in April for their Ligue 1 encounter against Marseille. Ahead of the game, Gusto was a firm topic of discussion with Blanc openly admitting his annoyance with how the last few months had panned out.
