Patrick Vieira insists Conor Gallagher is focused on finishing the season strongly with Crystal Palace, despite the uncertainty surrounding his parent club Chelsea.
One of the numerous consequences of the asset-freezing sanctions imposed on Chelsea owner Roman Abramovich by the UK Government is that club are not allowed to hand out new contracts.
Gallagher, who is under contract at Stamford Bridge until 2025, remains free to play for Palace, where he is on a season-long loan.
And boss Vieira says he has not even spoken to the 21-year-old about the situation facing his parent club.
