Chelsea duo Tammy Abraham and Kurt Zouma will stay at Stamford Bridge next season if the club’s transfer ban remains, according to reports.
Having spent time away from Stamford Bridge on loan, both youngsters will be told they must stay and fight for their place next season.
The Blues are set to serve a two-window transfer ban for breaching rules surrounding signing players under the age of 18, but have lodged an appeal with the Court of Arbitration for Sport.

Tammy Abraham has scored 26 goals at Aston Villa
However, The Sun claim that if the appeal is unsuccessful, both Abraham and Zouma will be told they must stay.
The England Under-21 striker has enjoyed a particularly fruitful spell with Aston Villa and his 26 goals have helped them reach the Championship Play-Off final.
Dean Smith is reportedly keen to buy or loan the 21-year-old if they find a way past the Rams at Wembley, but it is likely this will be rejected.
Similarly, France international Zouma has enjoyed a terrific season on loan at Everton. But with Gary Cahill leaving, the Blues will reject any offers for the 24-year-old.
