Chelsea-owned midfielder Anjorin gets more minutes off the bench in Huddersfield's FA Cup loss

Published: March 08, 2022

Chelsea-owned attacking midfielder Faustino Anjorin got more minutes off the bench as Huddersfield Town crashed out of the Emirates FA Cup after a 2-1 defeat suffered at the hands of Nottingham Forest at the City Ground on Monday night.

The England U20 international of Nigerian descent has been given the green light to return to action after recovering from a broken metatarsal sustained in training during a loan spell at Lokomotiv Moscow in the first half of the season.

Having spent four months on the sidelines, the Anglo-Nigerian is being introduced gradually into the Terriers set up so he does not suffer a relapse.

Anjorin made his Championship debut in Huddersfield Town's 3-0 rout of Peterborough United last Friday, entering the game as a substitute in the 71st minute.

The 20-year-old replaced Danel Sinani withe eleven minutes to go against Forest - his second appearance for Town since completing his loan move in the January transfer window.

Tom Lees nodded in his third goal in two games to open the scoring for the visitors on 13 minutes, but Forest set up a quarterfinal meeting with Liverpool after Sam Surridge and Ryan Yates found the net in the 29th and 37th minute respectively.
