Nathaniel Chalobah will represent England for the 88th time but has still yet to play for Chelsea

NATHANIEL CHALOBAH will play for England under 21s tomorrow night against Norway in what will be his 88th international youth appearance. 

But the Chelsea player is still waiting to make his debut for the club having joined in 2012 its been four years of loan deals away from Stamford Bridge

This season there is a change in the usual events that have taken place in Chalobah's career with the Blues as this is the first time he has not been sent out on loan.

88 games is a huge amount to play for your country no matter what level that may be so there is a serious talent waiting in the ranks and the FA are confident that Chalobah holds the record of England youth appearances.

Chelsea's policy of recent seasons has been to buy up the best young talent from all over Europe and loan them out with many sharing just the odd match appearance.  

Chalobah will be confident that his first competitive appearance for Chelsea is just around the corner as the club failed to bring  in another midfielder alongside N'Golo Kante as they focused on bringing a defender in towards the end of the transfer window.

The young lion will have been disappointed not to have played in the League cup against Bristol Rovers where his side won 3-2 and with 38 players of Chelsea's currently on loan there is huge competition.

There is a massive call for Chelsea to produce home grown talent which has been servery lacking since John Terry came through the academy.

Chalobah may get the chance to shine in the next few weeks but perhaps Antonio Conte is only prepared to play him if the midfield is short with injuries.
