Many fans questioned why West Ham allowed Reece Oxford to leave for Borussia Monchengladbach on a season-long loan but it appears as if the talented teenager will be returning prematurely.
Twitter: The Reece Oxford/Monchengladbach loan hasn’t worked out. He is heading back to #WHUFC early. Full story on @Football_LDN soon. (@Sam_InkersoleTM)
The versatile centre-back has yet to make a single appearance for the Bundesliga side this season and he will be coming back to East London earlier than expected.
Oxford broke into the first-team early in the 2015/16 season where he made 14 appearances across all competitions and impressed on his Premier League debut during a 2-0 away win at Arsenal where he played in a holding midfield position.
An ankle injury caused him to miss much of the first half of last season before he joined Reading on loan in January where he failed to make much of an impact.
A decision has been made to recall the 18-year-old early where, one would imagine, he would rejoin the first-team setup at the London Stadium.
Declan Rice has enjoyed a run in the first-team this season as Slaven Bilic illustrates he’s willing to hand opportunities to young players which should give Oxford the confidence to work his way back into contention.
