He returns to Chelsea full of confidence, with Thomas Tuchel handing the energetic midfielder a start in their pre-season fixture against Club America on Sunday.
And he made the most of his opportunity, delivering a stellar showing in the middle of the park.
Gallagher showed off his range of passing and started attacks, making bursting runs from midfield.
He was robbed of an assist when he brilliantly played in Kai Havertz, who fluffed his lines in front of goal.

“Conor trains at a really high level, and you can clearly see it was the right decision to let him go on loan," said the German.
"He made a huge step in his development at Palace and became an England player.
“It was a very good start and a good match for him. Now it's important he gets used to our principles of the game, to understand when to move and when not to move, and his work rate is outstanding. He can be a big asset for us."
