Abraham plays and Musonda is sent off in Chelsea U23 defeat

Charly Musonda was sent off as Chelsea’s development side lost 1-0 at home to Derby County on Friday evening.

Tammy Abraham featured in the match at Stamford Bridge, where Musonda was dismissed for a second bookable offence in the second half.

Chris Martin’s goal on 23 minutes was enough to win the game for Derby and it came after Abraham and Luke McCormick had gone close for Chelsea, whose line-up also included Callum Hudson-Odoi.

Abraham, who spent last season on loan at Swansea, was given a run-out ahead of another possible move.

Aston Villa are among the Championship clubs hoping to snap the striker up before the loan window closes next week.
