Academy Weekly Review

As last week’s Academy review was a little late there is no game action to cover in this season review. There has been some new loan action to report on however. Firstly a big move in that Josh McEachran has gone on loan again, this time to Championship club Middlesbrough. Josh has already played a game for them and impressed in his first performance, he was started on the right side of midfield but made his way inside on many occasions. For Josh this is a very important loan, his loan to Swansea was very unsuccessful but now he needs to play games and moving down to the Championship was surely the right way to get that. With a season of regular games Josh will in a much better position to maybe have a go at a loan to a premiership club or even to make an impact with Chelsea.

In addition to Josh we have seen young defender Archange Nkumu go on loan to Yeovil town. Yeovil is where Rohan Ince is on loan but Rohan has suffered an injury and so far has been unable to play. This loan may likely be purely for cover for Ince until he comes back but it will surely be good experience for the young man.

It has taken a little while but Chelsea have finally confirmed all their fixtures for the NextGen series games. Those fixtures have been confirmed as follows:

Tuesday 28 August, CSKA Moscow (H) 6pm

Wednesday 3 October, CSKA Moscow (A)

Wednesday 31 October, Molde (A)

Wednesday 7 or Thursday 8 November, Molde (H) 1pm

Thursday 29 November, Ajax (A)

Wednesday 12 December, Ajax (H) 1pm

The games finally get underway this coming Tuesday with a home game against CSKA Moscow, the game will be played at Cobham and behind closed doors but it will be a good testing fixture and Chelsea will of course want to get underway with a win.

There is no U18’s or U21’s action this week, however the U21’s did have a friendly game against Watford U21’s to make up for that fixture so it could well be likely that the U18’s will also have a friendly fixture this weekend.

Any idea why the NextGen game will be played behind closed doors?

The club have gone back on most they have said with regards to this competition. NextGen games were supposed to be played at Staines Town, now they are all at Cobham behind closed doors. They were all supposed to be televised live on Chelsea TV and the first game against CSKA is not on Chelsea TV now.

Pretty poor by the club to all of a sudden not take this competition seriously, it is a great competition...
