Injury snag hits Chelsea loan deal
CHELSEA full-back Ben Gordon is the young Premier League star who Scunthorpe United have been chasing.
But the 19-year-old player has returned to Stamford Bridge with an injury after his loan spell in Scotland with Kilmarnock.

Gordon, who is a former England Under-17 international, made 18 appearances for Killie.
The Leeds-born youngster had a short spell on loan last season at Tranmere.
"I have been told when he is fit again, we can still bring him here on loan for the rest of the season," said manager Ian Baraclough.
Baraclough insists he also has bids on the table for at least one permanent new addition to his squad.
