Sporting CPExtends with Chelsea
Derry has signed a six-year extension with Chelsea, according to his club.
Analysis: Derry is sticking around Chelsea for a few more years as the 19-year-old starts his young career, inking a deal with the club until 3021. He debuted with the first team last season, earning one start int he FA Cup while bagging two bench appearances in the Premier League for 77 minutes of play. That said, it is yet to be seen what the future holds for the attacker, as he could be sent on loan to further his development.
Makes bench Tuesday
Derry (concussion) is on the bench for Tuesday's clash versus Tottenham.
Analysis: Derry was expected to miss the rest of the season with the serious blow he picked up against Nottingham on May 4, but he's available for the final couple of fixtures. The youngster is unlikely to play a huge role, though the absences of Estevao (hamstring) and Jamie Gittens (hamstring) mean he could see some opportunities in place of either Pedro Neto or Cole Palmer on the wings.
Season over
Derry (concussion) will not feature again this season, according to coach Calum McFarlane. "Jesse won't be available for us now until the end of the season"
Analysis: Derry suffered the concussion in a clash of heads during stoppage time of Monday's match against Nottingham Forest, requiring him to be taken off on a stretcher and transferred to hospital. Manager Calum McFarlane's update confirms the severity of the situation, with the club ruling him out for the remainder of the campaign. The news is a significant disappointment for the attacker, who had made his first league appearance of the season in that very match before the incident occurred.
Stretchered off with head injury
Derry was forced off the field in stoppage time of Monday's match against Nottingham Forest due to an apparent concussion.
Analysis: Derry would be involved in a scary clash of heads Monday that would see two players exit the field, although Derry would be taken off via stretcher. This likely implies the attacker is suffering from a serious concussion, likely to sideline him for a week or two due to protocol. The good news is he is conscious now and undergoing further checks at a hospital. This is his first league appearance of the season, so this is a bit of a disappointment for the attacker, as his chances to play will be numbered once he returns to play.
