Chelsea defender David Luiz has urged the Blues' youngsters to earn their spot in the first-team this season.
With the west London club in the middle of a summer transfer ban, new manager Frank Lampard is expected to give youth a chance, and Luiz has thrown down the gauntlet to Chelsea's young stars.
Billy Gilmour and Mason Mount impressed in the 4-0 friendly victory over St Patrick's Athletic on Saturday, and are just two of the club's starlets who will be hoping for more opportunities in a bid to cement their place in the starting XI ahead of the Premier League opener against Manchester United on August 11.
