Chelsea starlet Charly Musonda is warned by the Blues after his Instagram rant over lack of first-team chances
Belgian striker claimed he has given everything but not received anything in return - after scoring in his only start, the 5-1 Carabao Cup romp against Nottingham Forest last month
CHARLY MUSONDA has been given a dressing down by Chelsea for his blast at the club.
The ambitious Belgian forward let rip on Instagram as his frustrations at a lack of first team action appeared to get the better of him.
Musonda has started one match for the first team and scored - in last month’s Carabao Cup win over Nottingham Forest.
And he wrote: “You sacrifice, you work hard, harder, you give more than what's expected, and often more than you can, because you love what you do and clearly more than you should.
"And what do you get back? Literally nothing... done. However, with this being said I will continue with the same dedication and commitment to this great game."
Musonda, 20, was grilled by officials at the training ground on Tuesday afternoon despite first claiming the post had been misinterpreted and then deleting it.
He has been told in no uncertain terms to curb his feelings and focus more on his football to try to force his way into the first team.
First team boss Antonio Conte and Chelsea technical director Michael Emanalo were also informed of their player’s wildcat action.

The example of centre half Andreas Christensen, who is now on the fringes of the starting XI having spent two years on loan at Borussia Monchengladbach, was pointed out to Musonda.
He only signed a new contract at Chelsea two years ago after joining from Belgian side Anderlecht in 2012.
He also spent a year on loan at Spanish side Real Betis where he scored one goal in 14 appearances.
Musonda played a key role in helping Chelsea into the last 16 of the Carabao Cup with his goal and eye-catching goal celebration against Championship Forest.
He was one of several players who have emerged from the Chelsea youth system to play in a match which has been seen by some as proof the club is willing to give its youngsters a chance.
