Chelsea latest news: Two of England’s Under-17 World Cup heroes are already back in club action… IN ROME

TWO of England’s Under-17 World Cup heroes had hardly any time to savour their moment of joy as they were thrust right back into action on Tuesday.

The Young Lions produced a stunning display on Saturday as they bounced back from two goals down to win 5-2 against Spain and claim the crown.

Steve Cooper’s youngsters made a triumphant return to Heathrow on Monday from India to a heroes welcome.

However, there were two young men that had to put the celebrations on ice as they were quickly busying themselves to get back to work.

Chelsea duo George McEachran and Callum Hudson-Odoi’s homecoming has been put on ice as they travelled to join back up with their club-mates in Rome.

And they were straight back out on the pitch for the Blues this afternoon in the Uefa Youth League.

Both of the England starlets were named in the starting line-up for the crunch clash against the Italian side Roma in the capital.

It’s a vital game for the Blues’ Under-19s after losing the home clash last time out in the competition.

After clinching the prize for their country at the weekend, the pair struggled to contain their joy.

McEachran, the younger brother of Brentford’s Josh, tweeted: “Wooooow what a night, words can’t describe our feelings right now.

“Also I thank you for the all the messages I appreciate them all.”

Meanwhile, Chelsea legend Michael Essien lauded Hudson-Odoi on his achievement.

The Ghanian wrote on Instagram: ”Congratulations little bro @calteck10 for winning the U17s world cup with @England well-done boy keep up the hard work I’m proud of you.”
