Chelsea head coach Enzo Maresca cancelled a scheduled day off for senior players this week after they were beaten 3-0 by the club’s Under-21 team in a training exercise.
Maresca made the decision after being disappointed by what he had seen during the drill.
While it was not a full 90 minute match between the first team and academy players, the less experienced group came out on top with 19-year-old Donnell McNeilly getting two of the goals.
