Thomas Tuchel has handed Billy Gilmour a first English Premier League start since taking over from Frank Lampard.
Gilmour has struggled for game time under the German, although the ex-PSG boss insisted he was a quality player and Scotland should include him in their squad.
And now he's got an opportunity to push for a place in the 26-man finals squad when it's named by Steve Clarke later this month.
He’s made just eight appearances for the Blues all season with just two of those coming in the Premier League, both in defeats to Everton and Manchester City.
He also made two appearances in the Champions League and four in the FA Cup, with his last start coming in the 2-0 win over Sheffield United in March.
The former Rangers youngster could still push for the Scotland squad and Tuchel previously said: "I can only strongly recommend the Scottish national team to nominate him because this guy trains on the highest level.
"They should not be worried about his ability to compete."
He had been tipped to go out on loan in January but Tuchel refused to allow that to happen as he said: "It's absolutely no mistake. It was unfortunately not his choice, it was my choice.
"The choice was made for Chelsea and not for the personal goals of Billy - we need four strong midfielders. He accepted it in a five-minute talk. He had no problem with it.
"I actually hope he knows how much I appreciate him as a person and as a footballer. I am super happy he is here."
