'I'd like to return but I can't say if it will happen in January': Chelsea left back Emerson Palmieri reveals desire to play in Serie A again in order to boost hopes of a Euro 2020 squad spot under Italy boss Roberto Mancini

Chelsea left-back Emerson Palmieri has revealed his desire to play in Serie A again as he looks to boost his chances of making the Italy national squad for Euro 2020.

The defender joined the London club from Roma in 2018 but has never nailed down a regular starting spot at Stamford Bridge and is yet to feature in the Premier League this season.

Frank Lampard has spent over £200m on reinforcements to the Blues squad this summer, including £50m on Ben Chilwell from Leicester City who has gone ahead of Emerson in the pecking order.
