Only if we've agreed to it in the loan contracts. Which I doubt.
They’ve agreed that they can play in the Cup, because they’ve played.
Takes 3 defenders out though, in a squad with few options
Yep, but that is a different agreement than playing against your parent club, which nine times out of ten sees players ineligible.
Do you have a link to that rule?
It is common practice not to let loan players play against parent club. I think 99% practice this.Do you have a link to that rule?
It’s not a ‘rule’, it’s down to the parent club. Chelsea will decide, simple as. Conte might even want to see the 3 in action.
Unlikely cos he’ll be at Meelan next season.

Where does it say it’s down to the parent club?
I'm not sure, but wasn't it up to parent clubs in the past but the rules were changed due to conflict of interests?
Can they recall them in February?I just said it doesn’t say that. Chelsea own the players, they can recall them tomorrow if they want. This has already been proven as Conte was asked if he intended to.

They can’t play against parent clubs in the PL but can in the FA Cup.

Was about to post that. It's now a FIFA or UEFA rule.
