George has made 13 appearances in Europe, scoring 1 goal and providing 2 assists. He has also bagged his first Premier League goal this season, having created 3 goals in domestic competitions too.

Acheampong, meanwhile, actually started the campaign on the periphery, with the Blues keen to tie him down to a new contract before handing him minutes. Since putting pen to paper on a four and a half year deal back in December, he has played 12 times in total.
