The Chelsea defender, who has played 30 games for PSV and scored two goals, has spent the past 14 months at the Dutch champions but will now return to Stamford Bridge.

Alcides joined Chelsea in 2004, but was immediately shipped out on loan, first to Benfica before moving to Holland two years later.

The 23-year-old Brazilian has played for Vitoria and Santos in his home country as well as enjoying a brief spell at Bundesliga side Schalke.
