Chelsea whiz Billy Gilmour played a full 90 for the Under-23 team against Leicester in a bid to improve his match fitness.

The talented 19-year-old has struggled to feature under Thomas Tuchel making just one appearance against Barnsley in the FA Cup on February 11.

Gilmour has featured in two Premier League squads since the German's appointment but has yet to prove his worth on the pitch.

The Scottish ace looked braced to leave Stamford Bridge on loan in January with several Premier League clubs looking into his availability.

But Tuchel wanted to keep him for the second half of the campaign and dropped a huge hint that he would be part of his plans.

Gilmour played the entire clash against the Foxes as his side battled out a 1-1 draw on Monday night.

The midfielder was forced to miss four months of last season after undergoing knee surgery.
