Chelsea fans react as Charly Musonda starts against Nottingham Forest

Eden Hazard is one of nine changes to Chelsea’s starting XI set to face Forest in the Carabao Cup at Stamford Bridge tonight.

The Belgian midfielder missed the start of the season with a broken ankle but has gradually been phased back into the Blues' line-up as he returns to full fitness.

Meanwhile, manager Antonio Conte has made a host of further changes from the side that drew against Arsenal last weekend, with academy graduate Charly Musonda given the nod in an attacking berth.

Willy Caballero makes his first Chelsea appearance since signing in the summer, while Andreas Christensen, Kenedy and Davide Zappacosta all feature.

Blues fans are delighted to see 20-year-old Musonda handed a chance to impress against the Championship side, taking to Twitter to praise the starting line-up.
