“ Latest Omari Kellyman “

Tue Jul 28, 2026 9:46 am

Kellyman has now travelled to Australia with Xabi Alonso's squad ( Chelsea ) after Geovany Quenda suffered an injury, opening up a place on the tour.

The development does not necessarily rule out another loan move this summer, but it is a notable change from Chelsea's original plans and could delay any decision over his future.

Cardiff remain admirers after Kellyman's outstanding campaign in blue, while Barry-Murphy and assistant Lee Riley both have strong links with Chelsea recruitment chief Joe Shields from their time together in Manchester City's academy.

Can see them waiting until the last week of the window to loan him out. That's what Premier League clubs tend to with some players - and exactly what happened with Kellyman last summer.

It makes sense that Alonso wants to look at all the players he has at his disposal, and Omari Kellyman is one of those seen as having a bright future

The injury to Quenda certainly delays any decision to loan him (Kellyman) back out, and it’s great for him to be part of the travelling Chelski squad

I agree mate. I think we’ll have him a week before the Wrexham game

Don’t think he’s coming back, lost the Maresca link from Chelsea so should probably start sniffing around Man City’s young players instead

He was a half time sub today but taken off after 63 mins. Not sure if he was injured. He had a shot on target in that time.

Apparently no injury sounds like coach made a mistake bringing him on for 20mins !
Could be good news for us
