Barkley, 24,  wants a return to action so he can win an England place back after the World Cup.

His move to Chelsea has been hampered by a hamstring injury which has limited his impact.

Blues boss Antonio Conte’s future is in doubt and ex-Napoli manager Maurizio Sarri is in the frame to take over.

Reports in Italy suggest his £7m release clause with the Serie A side expires on Thursday — despite them already appointing Carlo Ancelotti.
