Big things are expected at Chelsea of fit-again youngster Ben Elliott.

The Daily Mail says his inclusion in the 25-man Chelsea squad for their warm weather training camp in Abu Dhabi is the latest positive step forward given all he has been through in recent years, even taking into account that Graham Potter's options for the trip have been reduced by the World Cup.

A serious knee injury kept him out for two years during a crucial stage of his development between 15 and 17 before further niggles including a fractured foot meant a stop-start return to full fitness.

Having joined Chelsea aged eight, Elliott was one of the standouts in the academy group that later included Musiala as well as the likes of Livramento and Lewis Bate, another highly-rated prospect who was tempted away to join Leeds in the summer of 2021.

Elliott's talent was renowned in youth circles.

The Surrey-born youngster winning player of the tournament in the various competitions Chelsea competed in while also shining for England at youth level was a recurring theme.

Nike spotted his potential quickly too, tying him down on a deal aged just 12.
