Ethan Ampadu has had a phenomenal day.

The former Exeter City whizz kid, who joined Chelsea in the summer, has topped off getting a debut call-up to the senior Wales squad for their World Cup qualifiers next week by being named in the same team as Belgium superstar Eden Hazard for Chelsea's development side.

Hazard is on his way back from an ankle injury so is playing in the young Blues' game against Everton tonight as a way to find fitness.

After being named in the same squads as both Hazard and Gareth Bale in a matter of hours, fans took to twitter to praise the youngster's progress.

"Playing with those types of players, they're some of the best players in the world in one of the best teams in the world," Ampadu said pre-match having trained with the Blues' first team this week. "So training with those players, the advice they give you and the way they try and help you makes you a better player.

"During the training session Antonio Conte was helping me out with my body positioning during a bit of defensive play, which I'll remember and hopefully put that into my game quickly.

"My personal targets are to develop as a player all-round. We'd like to win the under-23 league and do the best in the competitions we're in, which is winning them.

"I'll try and push to get more experiences of training with the first team as that's going to help me become a better player and a better person.

"Everton will be a tough game - I've never played them but I've heard they're a good team. We all know that and we're all ready for it."
