The Blues currently have 38 players out on loan, and look certain to add to that astonishing figure when the January transfer window comes around.
Chelsea could potentially send even more of their youth players out on loan in January, the club's development coach Adi Viveash has told the Evening Standard.
The Blues already have 38 players on loan across Europe, but that will not stop them sending more out on loan to gain vital first team experience come the opening of the next transfer window.
Chelsea's development coach Viveash has said that he would not be surprised to see some of his players, including Marco van Ginkel, sent out in January to get the competitive minutes that they don't see at Stamford Bridge.
He also noted that the example Tammy Abraham has set for Chelsea youngsters is important. His success at Championship side Bristol City has shown the importance of playing regularly at a competitive standard, and has been replicated by Kasey Palmer at Huddersfield Town.
"This is a different group, we have a couple from this group that in January will probably be looking [to move on loan] at the older end," Viveash told the Evening Standard.
"The reality is, that when you go out there, it is what you do, and you could have envisaged Tammy hitting the ground running, but what Tammy has is a massive enthusiasm for the game."
Viveash added: "It is not just Tammy, Kasey Palmer is playing in the Championship as well, at Huddersfield, a team that are flying very high so those boys are ready for the next stage of their development."
Chelsea also have a number of high-profile players out on loan. Loic Remy at Crystal Palace and Juan Cuadrado at Juventus are just two examples.
