Flying Eagles-eligible winger Tyrique George played for two Chelsea youth teams in the space of twenty four hours.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u00a0<\/p>\n
The talented player was given minutes off the bench as Chelsea’s development team fell to a narrow 3-2 defeat in a Premier League 2 fixture away to their Norwich City counterparts on Friday, August 25.<\/p>\n
\u00a0<\/p>\n
George replaced\u00a0Zain Silcott-Duberry\u00a0in the 65th minute as Chelsea searched for an equaliser and a minute after\u00a0Ronnie Stutter netted the game’s fifth goal.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u00a0<\/p>\n
The following day, Nigerian football tactician\u00a0Hassan Sulaiman\u00a0named George in the starting lineup as Chelsea registered an emphatic 5-1 win over Aston Villa in an U18 Premier League match staged at the\u00a0Bodymoor Heath Training Ground.<\/p>\n
\u00a0<\/p>\n
Other players with a Nigerian background involved in the fixture include Chelsea’s Academy Scholar of the Year for the 2022-2023 season, Somto Boniface who played the full game and Kelechi Chibueze who entered the game as a substitute in the 64th minute.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u00a0<\/p>\n
George broke the deadlock in the sixth minute when he finished expertly\u00a0following a counter-attack.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u00a0<\/p>\n
The 17-year-old made way for\u00a0Frankie Runham\u00a0just before the hour mark with the scoreboard reading 4-0 in favour of Chelsea.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u00a0<\/p>\n
George joined Chelsea at U8 level and signed his first professional contract in February 2023.<\/p>\n
