Are you sure? I thought it was possible to recall a loan player as long as both teams were in agreement to do so.

Mark Robins salutes Stoke loanee with 'brilliant future'
Ashley Phillips played through the crucial final few weeks on loan at Stoke City from Tottenham Hotspur despite carrying an injury
www.stokesentinel.co.uk
Stoke fansites rated him as their best defender by a long way - some saying he's the reason they were not relegated.
He's regularly captained E u19 as CB.
Its difficult to judge him in absolute terms at Stoke as he was so much better than the rest of the side - and at Championship Plymouth last season he was voted 'Young Player of the Year'. And he is still aged 19 - turns 20 in late June, .
I think we see what he looks like in preseason. He's excelled at two Championship clubs on loan at age 18 or 19 (which is very very young to do that, its also very uncommon and few PL CB's play at that age) so if he's not staying at Spurs next season, I'd guess a loan to a european club might be a better option for him than another Championship club.
Part of the issue is going to be that Vuskovic (just 18) has excelled on loan, so the competition for young CB's is vey tough.
Those rules went a few years ago.
There are rules where there are emergencies - but usually confined to gk's when there are no senior (over 21) GK's, not sure for outfield players under any circumstances
Yes you're right I've just checked the rule book.
56.1.4 A Player whose Standard Loan expires (or terminates) at the end of the Seasonof the Transferee Club but prior to the completion of the League Matches ofhis Transferor Club (where it is a Member Club) will not be eligible to play inany remaining League Matches for the Transferor Club in that Season;
wrong rules for us but right idea
Be an interesting coaching challenge if Donley was suddenly available for tomorrow - starting Jamie for the first time night be seen as a risk !
Sadly not an option for us though.
Ah right, we're not covered by the EFL rules.
This notion of who is and who isn't good enough for us makes me laugh....
I'd rather a player who is determined to spend their time at the club trying to PROVE they ARE good enough to play for us....
....than a player who thinks he's TOO GOOD for us, and can't wait to board the first plane to Madrid!!!
