The Dutchman was expected to leave Stamford Bridge and head back to PSV for a second loan spell last summer, but a knee injury put paid to those plans.
He has been training with the Chelsea Under-23s side in order to help him with his recovery.

“I don’t think Marco [Van Ginkel] will go with the first-team, he is on a different programme to Kurt,” Viveash said.
“Kurt [Zouma] is a major part of the first team.
“Marco has had loans before, he has trained with the first team at certain times before but certainly since he has came back he has been training with us to get the match fitness up before he goes out in January.”
