Chelsea defender Cesar Azpilicueta is delighted seeing his young teammates proving themselves.

Azpilicueta was not surprised to see the likes of Tammy Abraham, Mason Mount and Fikayo Tomori prove their worth in the Chelsea team in earlier games.

"I've known them for a long time so I saw their progression in the Academy and when they went on loan," he said.

"So I knew their quality and I was very confident they had the level to perform in team. What they have been doing is very good for them and the club and I have been pleased not only for their performances but also their attitude.

"It is very important for them to set an example to the players of 10 or 12 years old who one day want to be in the team. So it is something very important and they are doing it."
