Michail Makes Debut, Two More Cypriots Travel to London with Chelsea

Young Giorgos Michail made his debut for Chelsea's first team in the match against Paphos FC, coming on as a substitute in the 89th minute. His participation was a highlight of the match, as he is only 17 years old (born 24/11/2008) and already has 13 appearances with the team's U19s, 12 of them as a starter. Michail was not the only player from the Paphos FC academy to be in the squad for the trip to London. Petros Petrou and Pedro Caldieraro also traveled, gaining valuable experience, although they did not play in the match. The presence of the three young players in the squad demonstrates the technical staff's confidence in the team's academy.
