Chelsea Nigerian Right Wing-Back Out Of Swansea City Clash
Published: February 25, 2017
Logically, Chelsea right wing-back Ola Aina will not be available for selection when English football pacesetters tackle Swansea City in the Premier League on Saturday, 1600 hours kickoff.
The England youth international was on parade at London Colney training ground on Friday afternoon as the Blues were hammered 4-1 by Arsenal in a very competitive Premier League 2 fixture.
Primarily a full back, Aina was deployed as a central defender by manager Adi Viveash, alongside Trevoh Chalobah and Richard Nartey.
Arsenal got their goals through Holding, Malen, Nelson and Welbeck, while Nigerian striker Ike Ugbo scored his 14th goal of the season for the Young Blues in the 68th minute.
Aina has been named in Chelsea’s matchday squads 14 times in all competitions this season, but has not been listed in the last seven matches in the Premier League.
