Chelsea booked their place in the semi-finals of the Carabao Cup courtesy of a 3-1 win against League One side Cardiff City on Tuesday night.
Enzo Maresca made a number of changes to his side for their trip to the Welsh capital, but they were unable to find a breakthrough in the first-half.
Alejandro Garnacho was introduced at the break, and the Argentine broke the deadlock shortly after.
Cardiff then equalised through David Turnbull, but Pedro Neto soon restored the visitors’ advantage before Garnacho ensured Chelsea’s progression by grabbing his second and the Blues’ third.
Now, off the pitch, it appears that one player that started the game has been pushing for a move away from Stamford Bridge.
According to CaughtOffside, winger Tyrique George is pushing for a permanent move away from Stamford Bridge in the new year.
The report claims that the 19-year-old is growing frustrated at his relative lack of first team opportunities, and is now seeking a move elsewhere in a bid to progress his career.

George is one of several players to have graduated from Chelsea’s Cobham academy into the first team at Stamford Bridge in recent seasons.
The Englishman has scored six goals and provided the same number of assists in 36 matches for the Blues across all competitions, but has struggled to establish himself as a regular starter for Maresca’s side.
So far this term the attacker has featured just ten times across all competitions and is yet to start a Premier League match.
The teenager is competing with the likes of Jamie Gittens, Alejandro Garnacho and Pedro Neto for a starting spot in Maresca’s side.
According to the report, George has attracted interest from a number of Premier League sides including Leeds United, Crystal Palace and Everton, as well as Championship outfit Southampton.
Chelsea’s west London rivals Fulham were keen to sign the winger over the summer but failed with a proposed £22 million move, but the report suggests that figure is now a guide to the Blues’ price tag for the player.
