Keeps limited role Veiga has made one start in four PL appearances through the first seven matches for Chelsea.

Impact Veiga was unused against Nottingham, playing in just four matches for Chelsea. He managed to start once in that span, making eight tackles (five won). He will keep the same backup role as Romeo Lavia in the defensive midfield, with Moises Caicedo and Enzo Fernandez the main options for Enzo Maresca's side.

Impact Veiga joined on loan to provide depth at left-back and earned a substantial role. The wing-back's loan includes an option to buy and seems likely to remain with Augsburg after impressing during his loan stint. Veiga failed to get on the scoresheet but at just 19 he has plenty to offer moving forward after compiling 26 clearances and nine tackles.

Four clearances in defeat Veiga generated one shot (zero on goal) and one cross (zero accurate) in Sunday's 3-0 defeat against Borussia Dortmund.

Impact Veiga got the start Sunday, just his sixth Bundesliga start, and did well defensively, but couldn't quite shut down a rampant Dortmund attack. Veiga has been a depth option behind Mads Pedersen, Iago, and Arne Maier. The left-back isn't likely to take on any major role without some of that competition ahead of him moving on from the club.
