Chelsea defender Fikayo Tomori has praised the leadership of senior players at the club.

Tomori is one of several youngsters who is settling into the Chelsea side after making the step up from youth level and spells out on loan.

He credits his manager Frank Lampard for aiding that transition.

But he also believes senior players like Willian give confidence to all the young players.

"For many of us, this is our first season in the Champions League and the whole team has been guiding us through games and training sessions," Tomori said at a press conference.

"It's been a good start for us, integrating the younger players with the more experienced players, and I think that we're just going to get stronger.

"Someone like Willian, who has played at the highest level not only in club football but internationally as well, is a big help.

"Having that sort of experience is vital for the team. He not only talks to us off the pitch but on the pitch he plays by example and shows what we need to do to get to the level he's been at."
