- English teenager Jesse Derry has been named in Chelsea’s starting line-up for their Premier League clash against Nottingham Forest on Monday afternoon.
- Derry, who will not turn 19 until the end of June, is a winger who has impressed at youth level for Chelsea, and he has now been handed his Premier League debut.
- Derry was picked ahead of Alejandro Garnacho, who was not included in the matchday squad named by interim boss Calum McFarlane.
- Chelsea are aiming to halt a run of five straight Premier League defeats, which ultimately led to the dismissal of Liam Rosenior last month.
- The Blues still have faint hopes of qualifying for next season’s Champions League, while Forest enter today’s match just three points above the relegation zone.
