Crystal Palace are mulling over the possibility of ending Timothy Fosu-Mensah’s loan spell early and sending him back to Manchester United, according to reports.
The 19-year-old moved to Selhurst Park on loan over the summer while compatriot Frank De Boer was still in charge, but has fallen out of the reckoning since Roy Hodgson’s arrival.
Although he has made 11 appearances in all competitions for Palace, Fosu-Mensah last got a run out on November 5 – just over a month ago – and only made the bench for their last four matches.
Hodgson must pick between Loftus-Cheek and Fosu-Mensah, and favours the Chelsea man.
And now, according to The Guardian, Palace are considering letting the Dutch defender leave so they can bring in another loan player in the form of Liverpool striker Danny Ings.
Premier League sides are only allowed to name two domestic loanees in their squad, and Palace already have both Fosu-Mensah and Chelsea starlet Ruben Loftus-Cheek.
