Chelsea youngsters shine for England youth teams

Chelsea's young players have been making their mark for England's youth teams during the current international break. While Morgan Rogers is the only Chelsea representative in Thomas Tuchel's senior England squad this month, several younger Blues players have impressed across the age groups.

Hat-trick hero for the Under-17s

The 16-year-old midfielder Mahdi Nicoll-Jazuli, who has been around Xabi Alonso's first team since pre-season, scored a hat-trick on Wednesday as England's Under-17s beat Montenegro 6-1. Nicoll-Jazuli also provided an assist before being substituted after the hour mark.

Reggie Watson and Josh Henry also started that match for England.

Wins for the Under-19s and Under-18s

England's Under-19s followed with a 4-1 victory over Slovenia, with Chizaram Ezenwata earning an assist. Reggie Walsh started that game, while fellow Chelsea youngsters Landon Emenalo and Freddy Bernal came off the bench as substitutes.

Riley Ebho scored the winning goal for England's Under-18s in a 3-2 victory against the Netherlands. Ryan Kavuma-McQueen, on loan at Portsmouth, opened the scoring with a mazy run and a stunning finish into the top corner of the net.
