Chelsea boss Thomas Tuchel challenges Ruben Loftus-Cheek to 'use his full potential' after midfielder impressed in his first Champions League start for six years

Chelsea head coach Thomas Tuchel has challenged Ruben Loftus-Cheek to 'use his full potential' after the midfielder was praised for his performance during Tuesday's 1-0 win in Malmo.

The academy graduate started only his second Champions League match, with his full debut in the competition occurring more than six years ago.

Loftus-Cheek took time to make his mark on the Group H contest but created two great chances in Sweden and produced several other excellent touches to continue his encouraging recent form which has seen him start three games during the past month.
