There were contrasting fortunes for Chelsea's stars on Thursday evening. As Jorginho crashed out of World Cup qualifying with Italy, Billy Gilmour found his way back onto the pitch to help earn Scotland a draw against Poland in their friendly international. Both players were victims of late goals from the opposition but the stakes were a great deal higher for the Italian midfielder.
The Blues' midfield maestro went from a successful stint at Stamford Bridge over the latest stretch of the season as Chelsea qualified for the Champions League quarter-finals and FA Cup semi-finals to World Cup heartbreak, while Gilmour was able to escape his Norwich struggles with an authoritative performance for the Tartan Army.
The 20-year-old only played two minutes in Norwich's defeat to Leeds and has been in and out of the starting line up since his return from an ankle injury. Even when in Dean Smith's chosen XI things have proven difficult. The Canaries have lost six Premier League matches in a row, and Gilmour's influence somewhat diminished.
