'It’s A Big Opportunity': Chukwuemeka Aims To Break Into Chelsea Team After Man City Display

“My heart skipped as I took the shot [which hit the post]. I thought it was in but obviously it was not meant to be today," Chelsea midfielder Carney Chukwuemeka told Sky Sports after the Man City game.

“We worked really hard out of possession and limited their chances and caused them some problems so I think we did have the better first half but we couldn’t find a goal.

“I feel like because of how young I am, I don’t have anything to lose I can just express myself and I think that’s the same with the others. It’s a big opportunity to build on and try and break into the team because of the injuries."

Chukwuemeka was subbed on after 22 minutes after Christian Pulsiic was forced off the pitch. The 19-year-old arguably made the most out of this opportunity and was a bit unlucky not to score.

Now, the Blues' summer signing has a real chance to start on Sunday in the FA Cup clash with the same opponent.
