The official Chelsea website checks on the progress being made by some of our loan players, a reduced schedule this weekend given the high number of international fixtures taking place, as well as looking ahead to a busy week...

LOAN HIGHLIGHTS

Ike Ugbo came off the bench for the final 18 minutes of MK Dons’ goalless draw at home to Blackpool in League One on Saturday, and in the same division Todd Kane started at right-back for Oxford United yesterday in their 3-0 defeat away to Portsmouth. The home side took the lead early on before two goals in 10 second-half minutes put the game beyond the visitors. It was Oxford's first game under the stewardship of new manager Karl Robinson.

Bradley Collins played the full game, and kept a clean sheet, as Forest Green Rovers secured a 2-0 win at home to Mansfield Town in League Two on Saturday. Both goals arrived in the second half and the visitors’ misery was compounded when they were reduced to 10 men late in the game as Krystian Pearce was sent off.

Jared Thompson also kept a clean sheet for Chippenham Town in their 2-0 win away at East Thurrock United in the National League, while it was a disappointing afternoon for Nathan Baxter who started in goal for Woking as they were beaten 3-0 at Leyton Orient.

In Ireland, Mitchell Beeney was an unused substitute for Sligo Rovers who suffered a 2-0 home defeat to Dundalk.
