Chelsea boss Mauricio Pochettino says he'll keep the door open to the club's academy talent.
The likes of Leo Castledine, Cesare Casadei, Jimi Tauriainen and Alfie Gilchrist have all made their debuts this season.
"I think they are so close [to the first team]," said Pochettino. "The way we are working as coaching staff, we are working so close with the Academy. And because of the circumstances also for us, we can invite young players to train with us, every week.
"That is a good opportunity for them to show their quality. We are realistic, but if we can give them the opportunity then they can be consistent. I think Chelsea have one of the best academies, not only in England but in the world, and I think it is our responsibility to care about these guys.
"A few of them will have the possibility to be in the squad on Monday. Also they are training for us, and for 16, 17, 18-year-olds they are training normally and being consistent with us. That is a very good experience and a very good evolution for them, to compete with senior players."
