# Chelsea field more youth than Arsenal

[Sport](https://www.sport-english.com/en/noticias/barca/luis-enrique-uses-more-youth-players-than-pep-and-wenger-4588158) have put together an interesting comparison between managers who have handed the most minutes to youth players over the last two seasons.

The report has compared some of the top teams around Europe, who have handed minutes to youth players in their respective domestic leagues and the Champions League, the results, are interesting.

The special one has given a total of 318 minutes to youth players over the last two seasons. The likes of Dominic Solanke, Loftus-Cheek and Andreas Christensen have all made their debuts. However, Solanke and Christensen have both been loaned out this season, to Vitesse and Borussia Monchengladbach respectively.

Chelsea were ranked behind both Bayern Munich, who gave 596 minutes to youth players, in second place and La Liga giants, Barcelona who were the clear winners with 895 minutes.

Something that Mourinho will be happy with, he has soared past Arsene Wenger in the ranking. Wenger only managed to hand 71 minutes worth of game time to youth players last season.

On another positive, he was placed ahead of his former side, Real Madrid in the rankings too. Former Chelsea boss, Carlo Ancelotti, only managed to give 61 minutes worth of game time to youngsters.
