Football's forgotten wonderkid: From being rated the world's best youngster at 16, Chelsea's Charly Musonda says his injury hell has seen him go FOUR YEARS without back-to-back games after being given just a 20% chance of EVER playing again

Chelsea winger Charly Musonda Jr has opened up on his injury heartbreak which resulted in doctors telling him he only had a 20 per cent chance of ever playing again.

Football's forgotten wonderkid took to Instagram on Wednesday to emotionally reveal how he has struggled to play consecutive games in the last four years and how he still hasn't played a game for the Blues in the last three.

At 16, Musonda was rated by scouts as the best youngster in the world which saw him snapped up by Chelsea in 2012.

However, since 2016 Musonda has been plagued by a cruciate ligament issue in his knee which has effectively robbed the winger of fulfilling his sky-high potential.
