On loan keeper Matteo Sereni kept a clean sheet as his Brescia side drew 0-0 with high-flying Chievo on Sunday afternoon.

Sereni's Brescia are now 12th in Serie A. The Blues' other season-long loanee, Ulrich Le Pen, came off the bench in the 83rd minute as his Strasbourg side beat Guingamp 3-1. Le Pen's team are currently 13th in Le Championnat.

The year-long loan agreements, as well as financial considerations, mean that the Blues cannot call either player back this season.

Town negotiated fees for Sereni and Le Pen payable next summer if their loan clubs wish to sign them permanently.
