Lesley Ugochukwu, Noni Madueke and Mason Burstow have all come off the bench in the Premier League this season.
Chelsea boss Mauricio Pochettino is confident the club’s Academy stars can rise to the challenge when handed a chance to impress in Wednesday night’s Carabao Cup tie against AFC Wimbledon.
“We are thinking to start with 11 players that can perform in the way that we want,” Pochettino told a press conference. “It is not because it is our philosophy at the moment, it is because we need to bring young guys to the first team because we have some players that cannot play tomorrow.“But I think it should be good to create the possibility for the young guys to be part of the project, part of producing players for the first team because the Academy and the coaches there are working so hard.
“I cannot talk about supposition or rumours. For tomorrow he is going to be able to play,” the Chelsea boss said.“The club did not communicate to me. All of the players that are in our squad are in our plans even if they didn’t play at the moment.” “Even if we are involved in the next few years in the Champions League or different European competitions – every single one is going to be a challenge for us and an opportunity to win.”
