John Obi Mikel has congratulated his Chelsea teammates- Nathaniel Chalobah, Lewis Baker, Ruben Loftus-Cheek - following England U21s 6-1 rout of Norway in a European U21 Championship qualifier on Tuesday evening.

To sweeten their appearance for the Three Lions at Colchester Community Stadium, the trio registered their names on the scoresheet, with Chalobah putting England 2-0 up in the 37th minute before Loftus-Cheek and Baker struck.

The Nigeria skipper is confident about Chelsea’s future due to the young players coming through the ranks, including the trio that started against Norway.

Mikel tweeted : “Congrats to @lew_baker, @chalobah & @rubey_lcheek on your goals last night! âšÂ½ Future is looking bright for #CFC 🔵 .’’

Mikel, 29, has since returned to England after international duty with the Super Eagles and trained on Tuesday.
