Chelsea Youth To Face Bayern Amid Injury Crisis

There could be three debutants and a whole host of youngsters in Frank Lampard’s squad as the Blues try to produce a miracle in Munich

Lewis Bate, Dynel Simeu and Ian Maatsen have been told to get ready for a trip to Germany after being selected by Frank Lampard to help ease his selection crisis ahead of facing Bayern Munich away in the Champions League.

Aside from Maatsen, the youngsters have yet to make their professional debuts, but they are on red alert ahead of the upcoming second leg, with Armando Broja and Henry Lawrence possibly also travelling after being added to the club’s B-list this week.

Maatsen has played just once under Lampard, making his debut from the bench in the Blues’ 7-1 win over Grimsby Town in the Carabao Cup back in September last year.
