Celtic have barely used Charly Musonda since his January arrival.

Brendan Rodgers manager of Celtic celebrates winning the leauge after the Scottish Premier League match between Celtic and Rangers at Celtic Park on April 29, 2018 in Glasgow, Scotland.

According to the Daily Mail, Celtic have angered Chelsea with their treatment of loan flop Charly Musonda, and could terminate his loan deal this summer.

The Bhoys were in the market for new additions in January, and Rodgers struck a deal with former club Chelsea to land Belgian talent Musonda on an 18-month loan switch.

Rodgers made no secret of the fact that Celtic beat 24 clubs to Musonda’s signature, but whilst he was expected to be a star for the Bhoys, his loan spell has been a huge disappointment.

The 21-year-old has bizarrely started just three games in a Celtic shirt, with another eight appearances as a substitute as he has struggled to break into Brendan Rodgers’ title-winning side.

Musonda still has a year left on his Celtic deal, but the Daily Mail report that Chelsea have been left angered by Musonda’s lack of playing time – and may cancel his loan deal this summer.

Musonda’s second loan spell with Real Betis in 2016 didn’t go to plan, and with another loan failing, the Blues may look to bring him back to Stamford Bridge and re-assess this summer.

It’s added that Rodgers may now have dented his chances of being Chelsea manager in the future due to upsetting the Blues in a series of loan deals, having barely used Josh McEachran at Swansea, Victor Moses at Liverpool and now Musonda at Celtic.
