Forgotten man Kenedy returns for Chelsea as one Newcastle player proves comparisons wrong

Brazilian winger Kenedy made his first Chelsea appearance in more than three years as he started in the club's FA Cup tie with Luton. A one-time Newcastle United favourite, Kenedy has spent the last few years out on loan at various different clubs but has been recalled due to the current full-back injury crisis at Chelsea.

His reintroduction to the Chelsea squad caught a lot of fans by surprise including Newcastle United fans who took to social media to mark the occasion with witty tweets and GIFS. It comes at a time when one of United's inform players, Joe Willock, had worried some that he may be 'another Kenedy.'

This was in reference to Willock's poor start to his permanent move to the club following a hugely successful initial loan spell on Tyneside. While Kenedy never secured a permanent deal there was certainly a desire from some at the club to complete such a move after a more than decent loan spell.
