About this video
Tyrique George has suddenly become Chelsea’s first-choice option up front in the Champions League, raising eyebrows given his limited experience in that role.
The 19-year-old started against José Mourinho’s Benfica side on Tuesday night, playing the first hour in a match Chelsea won 1-0 thanks to an own goal from Richard Rios. George’s statistics were modest: just one shot and 15 touches, with his first involvement in the opposition penalty area coming in the 45th minute.
And yet, head coach Enzo Maresca confirmed George is one of the main contenders to lead the line against Ajax later this month.
