Jose Mourinho Vows To Continue Fielding Dominic Solanke In Champions League

Chelsea manager Jose Mourinho has said that  fielding Anglo - Nigerian striker Dominic Solanke in the Champions League will not be a one - off incident.

The Portuguese manager handed the 17 - year - old his professional debut on Tuesday night as Chelsea thrashed Maribor 6 - 0.

Speaking to reporters, Mourinho said : “Solanke is at a level where we know he has the talent but he’s far away.

“For him it was a perfect situation; the legs were tired even before he came on, the heartbeat was there before the first run but it’s a night he will never forget.

“For sure, he’s going to play many Champions League matches because he will be a good player.”

Dominic Solanke, an England youth - teamer, was the top scorer at the European Under 17s staged in Malta this summer.
