​Chelsea defender Zouma: Abraham is a big player

Chelsea defender Kurt Zouma has praised teammate Tammy Abraham.

The latter has come in for some criticism after his penalty miss caused the Blues to lose the UEFA Super Cup to Liverpool.

However, Zouma believes the young striker has shown his quality in big games in the past.

Speaking about Abraham to the Chelsea website after the game, Zouma said: "Penalties is a bit of luck.

"He did well in the game. He gave us a penalty that we scored to come back in the game.

"He then missed a penalty but he's young and he's going to learn.

"He's a big player."
