Chelsea striker Tammy Abraham admits he was intimidated during his first loan spell at Bristol City.

Abraham is shining for Aston Villa on-loan this season.

And he said, “I remember my first feeling going into it. I was scared. I'm going up against men!

“So many times my mum was crying for me. There was one against Cardiff , it was Sol Bamba. I just touched the ball and he came straight through me. I said 'Whoa!', I was not used to those kinds of tackles. I was trying to pin him and all sorts, but he was so strong.

"I just remember saying, 'Listen, I'm going to have to go to the gym or something, I can't hold him off'."
