Chelsea star Carney Chukwuemeka caught out after 'liking' controversial post

Chelsea midfielder Carney Chukwuemeka ‘liked’ former teammate Lewis Hall’s social media post after their 2-0 League Cup defeat to Newcastle on Wednesday (October 30).

The 21-year-old was an unused substitute for Enzo Maresca’s side as they were powerless to resist an impressive Newcastle side.

Chukwuemeka has found first-team football under his new manager hard to come by despite a string of impressive performances for the club under Mauricio Pochettino last season.

The midfielder has been brought back into the first-team after being relegated to the ‘bomb squad’ over the summer as Chelsea continued their never-ending search for ‘pure profit’.

Still, he’s only managed to play 27 minutes of football across all competition so far this season, with Maresca preferring summer signings Renato Veiga and Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall ahead of him.

Chukwuemeka and Hall, 20, briefly played together for Chelsea’s Under-21s and the first team before the left-back made the move to Newcastle in 2023.

Hall was another academy product that the West London club decided to part ways with to help ease their PSR troubles at the end of last season.

The Newcastle man took to Instagram to let fans know he ‘Enjoyed that one’ after their 2-0 win over his former club, something that Chukwuemeka ‘liked’.

Both clubs will now turn their attention back to the Premier League, with Chelsea set to travel to Old Trafford for the first Premier League game of the post-Erik ten Hag era on Sunday (November 3).

Newcastle will be hoping this win helps kick-start their season as they prepare to take on title contenders Arsenal in the early kick-off on Saturday (November 2).
