Chelsea’s interim head coach Calum McFarlane says the signs are “positive” for Blues youngster Jesse Derry after he was taken off the field at Stamford Bridge on a stretcher and hospitalised following a sickening collision with Nottingham Forest’s Zach Abbott.
The 18-year-old was making his first senior start for the club in Monday’s game and had been one of their brightest sparks, trying to get the team back into the game after going 2-0 down in the first half.
