Former Aston Villa boss Martin O'Neill says it's right that Conor Gallagher can't play for Crystal Palace against parent club Chelsea in the FA Cup semi-finals.
O'Neill says the decision is good for the player and Chelsea.
"As a manager, if I had been party to letting these players go out, the last thing I want to do is find out he's just knocked me out of the semi-final," he said.
“That's number one, that's a selfish viewpoint.
"Two I think you have to feel with the player, what has changed, has he grown to love the club he's at now or does he still want to come back and fight for his place? I'm not going to have a semi-final to make that sort of decision."
