Anjorin has not figured for a Chelsea team since coming off the bench for the last ten minutes of the 4-0 hammering of Morecambe FC in the third round of the FA Cup exactly a month ago.
The 19-year-old's other appearance for Chelsea's first team this season was against Krasnodar in the UEFA Champions League back in December.
