• John Terry applauds Levi Colwill and Cole Palmer for supporting under18s
• Colwill emphasizes importance of backing next generation at Chelsea academy
• Palmer continues to inspire young players both on and off the field

Former Chelsea captain John Terry commended Levi Colwill and Cole Palmer for their decision to stay behind and support the under18 team, despite the Blues' loss to Norwich. Colwill, a product of Chelsea's academy, understands the significance of nurturing future talent at Cobham, while Palmer, who joined from Manchester City, serves as a role model for aspiring players.

Terry took to Instagram after the game to express his appreciation for Colwill and Palmer's presence during the match. This gesture echoes past instances where former Chelsea stars like Ashley Cole, Paulo Ferreira, and Petr Cech showed support for junior teams playing at Cobham.

Despite facing challenges in their recent match against Norwich (resulting in a 21 defeat), Chelsea's under18 team remains atop the league table with a comfortable lead over West Ham United. The squad needs just two points from their remaining matches to secure the Premier League Southern title.
