Chelsea hero Pat Nevin believes Billy Gilmour will bounce back from his poor performance against Leicester City on Sunday.
The 18-year-old was dragged at half-time, along with Mason Mount and Reece James, in what was just his third Chelsea start.
And Nevin has reminded the young Scot he will have plenty of trying time throughout his career.
"It may be that some of the younger players will have a dip in form, that is not something to be too concerned about, that has happened since the dawn of history in the game. It is part of the learning curve and they will be fine," the former Chelsea winger told the club's official website.
"Billy Gilmour had a tough afternoon at the King Power Stadium, but will that have a lasting effect? Yes it will, but in a good way.
"No one in the history of the game cruises through a career from day one without difficult times. You have to learn how to cope with it.
"He will be fine not only because of his talent and personality but also because of the management team and the kind of team-mates he has around him. He will be back on the pitch soon enough with their support and of course ours."
