Chelsea have confirmed that Andrey Santos has returned Vasco da Gama on loan.

Santos, 18, joined the Blues in the January transfer window for a deal worth £16million. The midfielder is yet to feature for Chelsea after being given permission to represent his country at the Under-20 South American Championship, a tournament he won and finished as top scorer.
