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 October’s international break.

Chelsea’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.

Josh Acheampong delivers passing masterclass for England U21s

On Friday, England’s Under-21s side recorded a 4-0 victory against Moldova in a Euro qualifier.

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

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

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

Based on Acheampong’s performance against Liverpool before the international break, he should be in Enzo Maresca’s thought for more action.

Josh Acheampong statistics vs Moldova

Acheampong was super impressive for England’s U21s on Friday, particularly with his passing.

We’ve taken a look at his individual statistics from the match via SofaScore.

If he continues at this rate, he could potentially be Chelsea’s best academy graduate since Reece James came through Cobham.
