Buomesca Na Bangna is getting regular football at Chelsea with the U18 team.

The Portugal U17 international midfielder is better known as 'Mesca' and had a full 90 minutes in yesterday's defeat to Southampton.

Mesca has represented Portugal at Under-16 and Under-17 level. Like Chelsea colleague Kaby, he was born in Guinea-Bissau and remains eligible for them, but having grown up in Portugal, he represents them at youth level.

He arrived in the summer from Sporting Lisbon.
