Chelsea midfielder Ruben Loftus-Cheek is counting down the hours to today's Champions League debut.

Chelsea boss Jose Mourinho says Loftus-Cheek will see action against Sporting CP.

Loftus-Cheek said: "It's amazing for me. I have been with the team since eight so it's great for me.

"We are very aware of that (John Terry being last academy product to be regular in first team). It's a good squad, but we have some good talent coming through.

"It's not easy to come through with squad ahead of us, but you can't be negative otherwise you won't get anywhere near."
