TNT Sports forced to apologise after Reece James swears about 16-year-old starlet Reggie Walsh as youngster makes history in Blues' Conference League win

TNT Sports were forced into an apology after Chelsea captain Reece James was unable to contain his excitement following the historic appearance of youngster Reggie Walsh.

The 16-year-old Walsh became the Blues' youngest-ever starter in Europe when he was named in the side that faced Djurgarden in the Europa Conference League semi-final on Thursday night.

Enzo Maresca's side cruised to a 1-0 win on the night and 5-1 aggregate victory that sealed their place in the final later this month, where they will face LaLiga side Real Betis.
