Sporting have confirmed that they will not be recalling Jesse Derry early from Chelsea, as reported by A Bola.
The 19-year-old winger moved to the Portuguese side on loan but has seen limited action, logging just 26 minutes over three appearances.
Frustrated Chelsea fans are calling for the talented young player to return, concerned that he may miss out on vital development time.
However, Sporting's hierarchy are adamant that an early exit is off the table. They want to allow the young player time to settle and adapt to his new surroundings.
Derry has found it difficult to break into the starting XI due to stiff competition from Flaviu Goncalves and Nestori Irankunda.
To aid his development, Sporting have implemented a tailored training programme for Derry, focusing on enhancing his physical strength, defensive skills, and off-the-ball movement.
