Chelsea teen Ruben Loftus-Cheek delighted with first team chance

Chelsea teen Ruben Loftus-Cheek enjoyed being part of their US tour squad.

The midfielder tasted senior football for the first time in the Manchester City double header.

"I've loved being around the squad and the players have all been good to me, the young ones, and they helped us settle in really well. I've been really happy to be around the players and the first team, and it's made the experience twice as good. It has helped having Jamal and Nathan Ake around too, who are good friends but also used to the environment," he told chelseafc.com.
