Valencia cut short Batshuayi's loan from Chelsea

Chelsea-owned Michy Batshuayi has had his loan to Valencia cut short, with the Liga side's general director Mateu Alemany confirming the news on Thursday.

The Belgian striker has endured a tough time since his move to Spain, netting only two goals in 23 matches for Los Che despite having enjoyed a massively fruitful spell at Borussia Dortmund earlier in 2018, bagging seven times in 10 games.

Indeed, Valencia boss Marcelino saw his side fall to a shock 2-1 Copa del Rey defeat to Segunda Division outfit Sporting Gijon on Tuesday, a match in which Batshuayi was hooked at half time.
