We knew that some youth team players were set to start for Chelsea in the Carabao Cup tonight after they were called up to train this week, and while there’s still some time before the teams are officially released, according to cfcnewspage on Instagram, Harvey Vale will be one of them.
That page does get team news right time and again, and we feel confident that they’ve got this one right.

It also mentions Trevoh Chalobah as a starter, an impressive recovery from the youngster who came back from a hamstring injury against Everton last week, only to be taken off at half time.

There’s also a hint about another academy player in the team – why they wouldn’t just tell us who it is, we don’t know.
