Chelsea defender recorded a staggering 100 per cent passing accuracy in display for his country

There are several Chelsea players representing their respective countries right now, and one of them just produced a faultless passing display.

After beating Liverpool in the Premier League, Blues stars joined up with their national squads for Octoberโ€™s international break.

Chelseaโ€™s form going into the internationals was poor, winning just one of their previous four league matches. Hopefully, they can embark on a winning run to climb from seventh up the table.

Apparently, Blues talisman Cole Palmer is expected back from his injury around the trip to rivals Tottenham.

Chelsea youngster Josh Acheampong, 19, starred for the England U21s. In fact, the teenage defender recorded a 100 per cent passing accuracy.

Acheampong, whoโ€™s been compared to Rio Ferdinand, is a ball-playing centre-half with so much composure and quality in possession. Heโ€™s proven he can operate at right-back, too.

Even though the Chelsea academy graduate has plenty of competition for a starting position, heโ€™s beginning to make a real case for himself to play more minutes.

Based on Acheampongโ€™s performance against Liverpool before the international break, he should be in Enzo Marescaโ€™s thought for more action.
