Chelsea reporter predicts first senior start for 18-year-old Blues player tonight | OneFootball

One Chelsea reporter has gone all out and predicted that there will be a first senior start for one 18-year-old Chelsea player tonight.

The Blues face Armenian side Noah in the Europa Conference League at Stamford Bridge tonight, and Enzo Maresca will already have his starting Xl known in his head.

EXCLUSIVE! Chelsea pick main candidate for new full back transfer pursuit!

These kind of games can often be a bit of a banana skin with none of us really knowing what to expect from an opponent who’s club was only formed in 2019.

Chelsea will be expected to be winning this game comfortably though, but as we know, Maresca will likely line-up with his second starting team tonight as he keeps the key players from his regular starters rested ready for Sunday’s game against Arsenal.

For Chelsea’s second string side though, there is one or two absentees. Jadon Sancho would have absolutely started tonight, but he has now taken a knock in training and will not be available.

So could this present a chance for a young rising starlet at the club?

Predicted Chelsea Xl

Tyrique George in action for Chelsea

Chelsea reporter for Football London, Bobby Vincent, believes young winger Tyrique George will be handed his first senior start for the club tonight in his predicted Chelsea Xl.

Bobby believes that George will start on the right wing, with Christopher Nkunku in the middle up top, and Mykhailo Mudryk on the left and Joao Felix behind them.

Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall and Enzo Fernandez will then operate the central midfield pivot, with a back four of Axel Disasi, Tosin Adarabioyo, Benoit Badiashile, and Rento Veiga. And then Filip Jorgensen will keep goal as the backup goalkeeper choice to Robert Sanchez.

I’d personally be surprised to see George start this game myself, but it’s not a bad shout really and it would be really nice to see it.
