Two Chelsea academy wonderkids set to feature against Krasnodar tonight

Two Chelsea youngsters Tino Anjorin and Henry Lawrence are expected to play some parts as the west London club take on Krasnodar tonight at Stamford Bridge for their final match of the Champions League group stage.

The Blues have already wrapped up top spot of Group E and the Russians are in the Europa League for the second half of the season.

So the match is very much a dead rubber and will give those fringe players a chance to impress once again.

Both Hakim Ziyech and Callum Hudson-Odoi are out injured with hamstring injuries and they will miss the clash with Krasnodar at the very least.

It could create a chance for one or two of Chelsea’s highly rated youngsters, Faustino Anjorin or Henry Lawrence.

Both players have been training regularly with the Chelsea first team. Both names are easily amongst the top mentioned players of those who have a massive chance of making it at the club, and they are rated very highly by the coaches at Cobham and the senior coaches.

Anjorin has made a couple of first team appearances already, but Lawrence is also more than ready to have his chance to play in the first team.

Talkchelsea.net suggest that Werner could be forced to start the match now, or Lampard may chose to hand a start to Anjorin or Lawrence. Neither are out an out wingers as such, but both are versatile and have equally played out wide a number of times in their careers so far at youth level.

However, Anjorin and Lawrence were part of the training group ahead of the game as Frank Lampard put his players through their paces for the last time on Monday, and could get their chance to feature in the match.
