Reece James is one of several young players who have established themselves in the Chelsea senior squad this season. James has clocked up 26 appearances across all competitions this term, scoring twice and providing three assists from defence. Elsewhere, Fikayo Tomori has gained valuable experience in the heart of defence and Billy Gilmour is the latest teenage sensation off the Chelsea production line with a couple of eye-catching recent displays against Liverpool and Everton. The 18-year-old is a long-term prospect at Stamford Bridge and has been backed to retain his spot in the senior squad when Chelsea’s more established stars return from injury.
