Chelsea didn't give me a chance - Djilobodji

Papy Djilobodji has criticised Chelsea for only giving him one minute of first-team action during his time at the club.

Sunderland defender Papy Djilobodji has hit out at former club Chelsea, saying he was never given a chance to prove himself at Stamford Bridge.

The Senegal international joined Chelsea from Nantes in September 2015 on a four-year contract, but played just one minute of competitive action for the Blues, under then manager Jose Mourinho.

Djilobodji replaced Radamel Falcao for the final minute of a 4-1 League Cup victory over Walsall, but never played again for Chelsea and was later loaned out to Werder Bremen, where he made 14 Bundesliga appearances and scored two goals.
