Veiga, who joined the Blues this summer from Basel, has been training with the first-team squad throughout the summer. He made substitute appearances in two of Chelsea’s five friendly matches on their United States tour.
The versatile youngster came on as a substitute for Marc Cucurella at left-back against Inter and delivered an impressive performance for 45 minutes, exciting the fanbase.
One fan said: “Veiga is going to turn out to be an important signing. Composed and physically imposing.”
