Lewis Hall made his first start for Chelsea in a number of months when he took to the Stamford Bridge pitch against Nottingham Forest. Once again the 18-year-old showed he was pretty much up to the task and was unafraid to take on responsibility in the Blues XI.
The Cobham product's outing came amid injuries to Ben Chilwell and Marc Cucurella that ultimately saw Hall prevented in joining up with England's Under-20s side that is travelling to the World Cup in Argentina. Chelsea's Harvey Vale, Bashir Humphreys, Teddy Sharman-Lowe were all named in the squad for the competition.
That leaves Hall with the opportunity to play four first team matches, albeit with little left on the line for the west London side. With Nottingham Forest ticked off, a start against Manchester City awaits, a team that he has already featured against three times this season.
