The first year scholar was not selected for the opening day draw vs Brighton & Hove on September 12 and was also omitted from the team that thrashed West Ham United last weekend.
Against the
Saints, Abu starts on the bench alongside another player of Nigerian
descent, goalkeeper Kelechi Chibueze while Prince Adegoke misses out
through injury.
The 2003-born defender was a key member of the Chelsea squad that beat Manchester City
to win last season's Premier League U16 International Cup and ten days
after the triumph, he was on the bench against Wolverhampton Wanderers
in the U18 Premier League Cup, his first squad involvement at that
level.
Abu has described himself as an attacking fullback that loves to get forward and get crosses in.
He has played nonstop at Chelsea since the age of ten, with the Blues beating Norwich City to his signature.
