Anjorin involved in Chelsea's final training session ahead of UCL match vs Atletico Madrid
Published: March 17, 2021Anglo-Nigerian attacking midfielder Faustino Anjorin was spotted training with Chelsea's first-teamers in their final workout before Wednesday night's Champions League clash against Atletico Madrid at Stamford Bridge.
The Premier League side hold a slender 1-0 advantage from the first leg in Bucharest, so manager Thomas Tuchel is expected to field his strongest starting lineup.
The probability of Anjorin making Chelsea's gameday squad is high as the Blues are missing the services of four key members of the first team in Jorginho, Mason Mount, Thiago Silva and Tammy Abraham.
Speaking at the post-match press conference, Tuchel stated : "So we are missing four key players for this game but that makes the selection a little bit easier, because we can select 23 players in the Champions League.
"We will use the whole squad. We can make five substitutes during the match, so we have a clear idea of what we can do."

The last time Anjorin figured for Chelsea's first team was against Barnsley in the Emirates FA Cup on February 11 - his only appearance under new boss Tuchel.
The 19-year-old was not in the Chelsea team beaten 2-1 by Everton in the Premier League 2 last Friday.
