Two of Chelsea's young prospects have reportedly been suspended by the former Premier League champions for setting off a smoke grenade at the club's Cobham training ground.

Reserves regular Jacob Mellis, 21, and 19-year-old Billy Clifford could face the axe from the Blues after the smoke grenade was activated in the reserve team dressing room on Friday morning, according to the Daily Mail.

It is thought that fire marshals were called during an evacuation in order to remove the grenade from the premises and clear the area.

This news comes after club owner Roman Abramovich called time on Andre Villas-Boas's managerial career at Stamford Bridge.
