# Youngsters Nartey and Sammut train with first team

Chelsea manager Maurizio Sarri included youngsters Richard Nartey and Ruben Sammut in a first team training session ahead of the Europa League clash with Salvia Prague.

As reported on [Football London](https://www.football.london/chelsea-fc/players/revealed-two-chelsea-youngsters-called-16107122), the media were given access to a 15-minute open training session and the two youngsters were the first players out onto the training pitch.

Sarri has included many youth players in senior training sessions this season, with players like Ethan Ampadu and Billy Gilmour featuring in training regularly.

20-year-old Nartey is a highly-rated defender, whilst Sammut is a 21-year-old midfielder.

Both players have been regulars for the Chelsea U23 side over the last two years.

Sarri has begun to include Chelsea academy products Ruben Loftus-Cheek and Callum Hudson-Odoi in his starting lineup, much to the pleasure of the Chelsea fans.

With the club currently under a transfer ban, he may need to dip into the academy more in the coming months.
