Chelsea boss Hiddink: Mancienne still has plenty to learn

Chelsea boss Guus Hiddink says Michael Mancienne has a big chance.

"I like to bring in young players, but they must be at the level required," said Hiddink.

"Mancienne did a good job at right back against Wigan but he had some problems near the end. That's what happens when young players come in, it's the tension of the debut.

"I have seen it with the national team in Holland and with club teams as well. They must have the tactical and technical skill, but they must be close to the players above them. If they are, I don't hesitate."
