According to John Mousinho, the deadline for Ipswich Town to recall Conor Chaplin from his loan at Portsmouth expires today. Mousinho also stated that after the initial cut-off point was extended last Friday, conversations with Ipswich Town will occur this afternoon. Furthermore, Mousinho expressed hope that Chaplin will stay at Portsmouth and noted that Chaplin has played nearly every minute of every game during his loan.

Ipswich Town manager Kieran McKenna revealed that the recall option on Conor Chaplin's loan has been extended and now goes into the following week. McKenna said the likelihood is that Conor Chaplin will stay at Portsmouth for the remainder of the season. McKenna also said the clubs have communicated this week and are planning for him to be at Portsmouth for the rest of the season.

Conor Chaplin returned to Portsmouth from Ipswich Town on deadline day, agreeing a deal for the 2025/26 campaign. Ipswich Town retained an option to recall Conor Chaplin in January. John Mousinho stated that he expects Conor Chaplin to spend the rest of the campaign on loan at Portsmouth. Kieran McKenna revealed that no decision had been made regarding the recall. The option was due to expire this week.

Kieran McKenna said no formal talks have yet taken place on whether Conor Chaplin will be recalled from his loan spell at Portsmouth. John Mousinho stated Conor Chaplin would be staying at Fratton Park following a brief conversation at Sunday’s postponed fixture between the clubs. McKenna said he has not been involved in any talks on the matter and that the first conversation would be between him and Conor Chaplin. There is a clause that is active for another week, and the decision will be resolved before the clause's expiration at the end of the following week.
