LONDON (AP) — Chelsea sent Italy left back Emerson Palmieri on loan to French club Lyon on Thursday for the rest of the season.
Emerson, who has spent the last 3 1/2 seasons at Chelsea, has dropped to third in the pecking order of left backs behind Ben Chilwell and Marcos Alonso.
He was a member of the Italy squad that won the European Championship this year, starting in the win over England in the final.
