Fans say the same thing as Chelsea star Madueke wins MOTM award with goal and 2 assists in brief cameo for England U21s
CHELSEA fans are all saying the same thing after Noni Madueke was named man of the match after a brief cameo for England’s Under-21s.
Lee Carsley’s youngsters comfortably beat France 4-0 yesterday.
Madueke was subbed on with just 24 minutes to go with the Three Lions just one goal up and he managed to score and grab two assists.
He doubled the lead with a cool finish before setting up Curtis Jones and Jacob Ramsey as England ran riot after Emile Smith Rowe got the scoring going.
Madueke’s performance earned plaudits but it has left some Chelsea fans fearing they may never see enough of him in a blue shirt.
Since he arrived in January from PSV for a fee of £35million he has played just four times, just two of which have been starts.
The 21-year-old has also been left out of Chelsea’s Champions League squad and it led to fans slamming manager Graham Potter.
One said: “But can’t get ahead of Conor Gallagher at Chelsea in the pecking order. Potterball.”
Another commented: “Arrest Potter.”
A third reacted: “Potter is holding him back, let the boy cook Graham.”

His game time is being restricted by the likes of Mykhailo Mudryk, Christian Pulisic, Joao Felix, Raheem Sterling, Hakim Ziyech and Kai Havertz, who are all battling for spots in the front line.
Another fan said: “Hope Madueke’s wings won’t be cut by limited playing time at Chelsea and he can fulfil his potential.”
