Tyrique George has done enough to start up front against Nottingham Forest, says Enzo Maresca
Chelsea head coach Enzo Maresca has said he has seen enough from Tyrique George to show that he can start as a striker in Chelsea's pivotal final league game of the season. Typically deployed as a winger, George played up front in Chelsea's 1-0 win over Manchester United on Friday, with Nicolas Jackson suspended after being sent off against Newcastle United. It was his first Premier League start for the club. Advertisement The 19-year-old was forced to adapt to an unfamiliar role though Maresca was impressed with what he saw. 'Very good, very good, brave,' he said when asked after the game about George's performance. 'He was a threat in behind. It was not easy for him because on the other side you had Maguire, Lindelof, Shaw, he was fighting against important defenders. But again we tried to find a solution with a player from the academy. He also had the penalty moment so he worked well.' Marc Cucurella scored the game's only goal in the 71st minute, securing a crucial win for Chelsea in the race for Champions League qualification and moving them back up to fourth after Aston Villa had beaten Tottenham Hotspur 2-0 earlier in the day. Maresca's side visit Nottingham Forest, four points behind Chelsea with a game in hand, for a vital clash on the final day of the season. Jackson will remain suspended for the match. When asked if George had shown enough to start in the role again at the City Ground, Maresca said: 'Absolutely yes, 100 per cent.' George, a Chelsea academy graduate, made his senior debut in August 2024 in the Conference League against Servette. He has made 24 appearances for the club this season, scoring twice, with half of those games coming in the Conference League. Chelsea take on Spanish side Real Betis in the Conference League final on May 28 at Stadion Wroclaw in Poland. ()

Chelsea XI vs Manchester United: Starting lineup, confirmed team news, injury latest for Premier League today
Chelsea start Tyrique George up front against Manchester United in the Premier League tonight. The Blues know that victories in their final two league games will secure a top-five finish and Champions League football next they are without first-choice striker Nicolas Jackson for both games following his red card in last weekend's defeat at Newcastle. Christopher Nkunku and Marc Guiu are also sidelined, meaning manager Enzo Maresca does not have a recognised striker at his disposal. Pedro Neto was an option to assume the role, having done so while Jackson was injured earlier this season. However, Maresca's options are also limited out wide by the fact that Jadon Sancho is ineligible to feature against his parent club. Chelsea therefore turn to youngster Tyrique George. The 19-year-old started both legs of the Conference League semi-final tie against Djurgarden and now gets his chance at Premier League level. Reece James gets the nod at right-back, with Enzo Fernandez partnering Moises Caicedo in midfield and Romeo Lavia named on the bench. Starting XI: Sanchez, James, Tosin, Colwill, Cucurella, Caicedo, Enzo, Madueke, Palmer, Neto, George Subs: Jorgensen, Bettinelli, Badiashile, Chalobah, Acheampong, Anselmino, Gusto, Lavia, Dewsbury-Hall Time and date: 8.15pm BST on Friday May 16, 2025 How to watch: Sky Sports Venue: Stamford Bridge

Chelsea advances to Conference League final against Real Betis
Chelsea rested its regular starters and still comfortably advanced to the Conference League final by beating Djurgården 1-0 in their semifinal second leg of Thursday. The Premier League club advanced 5-1 on aggregate to set up a May 28 title match against Real Betis, which prevailed in extra time for a 4-3 aggregate win over Fiorentina to reach its first European final. At Stamford Bridge, midfielder Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall collected a through pass from Tyrique George before scoring the winner with a low left-footed shot in the 38th minute. "Amazing to be in the final," Dewsbury-Hall told TNT Sports. "We set our sights at the start of the season to get as far as we can in this tournament and it has been a long couple of months but one more game to go and and hopefully we can lift that trophy." Chelsea remains on course to become the first club to win all major European competitions. The Blues have claimed the Champions League (2012, '21), the Europa League (2013, '19), Cup Winners' Cup (1971, '98) and Super Cup (1998, '21). The final takes place in Wroclaw, Poland. Chelsea manager Enzo Maresca used only Marc Cucurella from the team that beat the new Premier League champion Liverpool 3-1 on Sunday. Sixteen-year-old midfielder Reggie Walsh was given his first career start and drew frequent fouls from the opposition defense. When he was used as substitute in the first leg, he became the third youngest player for Chelsea, the club said.
