Three Chelsea players are now named in U21 Premier League Team of the Season so far

Chelsea have three representatives in the Premier League Team of the Season so far for Under-21 players.

WhoScored have recorded the Blues trio of Malo Gusto, Levi Colwill and Cole Palmer in the interesting XI.

You only need to look around to see how many youngsters are playing in Chelsea’s first-team squad this season, so perhaps it’s no surprise that there’s a few representatives in the line-up.

It does prove that there’s been some bright sparks at Stamford Bridge this campaign despite sitting mid-table.

Statisticians WhoScored have named its Premier League’s Under-21s Team of the Season, with the one rule that players were aged 21 & under as of 1 August this year.

First of all, Chelsea defender Gusto is included in the right-back spot with an overall rating of 6.54. The 20-year-old’s looked pretty solid so far during his first few months in England. His main issue now will be a lack of game time following the return of club captain Reece James.

Next, 20-year-old star Colwill makes the team in the left-back position. He’s got an impressive 6.83 rating so far this campaign due to his commanding performances at the back.

Finally, Palmer, who became a senior England international last night, slots into WhoScored’s XI as the attacking midfielder with a 6.98 match rating. We think you could make a strong case for the 21-year-old being one of the division’s best young players so far.

Cole Palmer best of the bunch

We’re certainly look at Palmer as the brightest of the young prospects right now.

Speaking via Channel 4 last night, Jermain Defoe described Palmer as a “clever footballer”. We think he’s spot on with that assessment.

The left-footed attacking midfielder is in for a big season if he can keep grounded and fit.

There’s no doubt that he’s already a key cog for Mauricio Pochettino’s side whenever they go forward.

Russia makes biggest advance in Ukraine since early days of the war, seizing an area half the size of London as Putin’s forces launch artillery and bomb blitz

Russian forces are advancing westward in Ukraine at a rate faster than any other time after the initial days of the 2022 invasion, taking an area half the size of London over the past month as the return of Donald Trump to the White House looms large. Vladimir Putin’s troops swept through swathes of Ukraine in early 2022 and were bearing down on Kyiv in a matter of days, but they were held on the outskirts of the capital before being pushed back and retreating further east. Since then, the 1,000 km (620-mile) front line remained largely static save for some minor offensives one way or the other – that is until Ukraine launched a lightning incursion into Russia’s Kursk region this summer.
