Michael Hector and Lucas Piazon have returned to Chelsea from Reading after their loan agreements were terminated.
With Reading in mid-table in the Championship, out of play-off contention and clear of relegation danger, the pair have returned to their parent club to be assessed.
English defender Hector, 23, and Brazilian midfielder Piazon, 22, will be assessed to determine if they should stay with the first team next season, or be made available for a further loan.
Hector signed from Reading on a permanent deal at the end of the 2015 summer transfer window, but was immediately loaned back to the Championship side. He has made 35 appearances for the Royals this season.
Piazon, who joined Chelsea in August 2011 and has a handful of first-team appearances, has scored five times in 27 appearances for Reading this season.
Reading manager Brian McDermott said: "I'd like to thank Chelsea for letting us have Lucas and Michael on loan this season.
"Michael is a player I have known for a long time now. He has been at Reading for six years and after so many loan spells with lower league teams, he has now found himself at one of the biggest clubs in the world. Another amazing story that football tends to throw at you."
Antonio Conte will be replacing Guus Hiddink as Chelsea head coach once Italy's European Championships campaign is complete.
