Kurt Zouma's 45-minute cameo for the Chelsea U23 side on Monday night attracted plenty of reaction on social media.
The 21-year-old French defender was back in action after seriously injuring his knee in February and his return to the pitch was a talking point among Blues colleagues, coaches and the club.

Zouma came off at half-time of the eventual 2-2 draw against Derby County at Aldershot as he continues to his return to full fitness following the cruciate ligament damage he sustained against Manchester United around nine months ago.
