Early Team News Chelsea vs Roma: No Nigerian Involvement As Nura Misses Trip To SW6
Published: October 17, 2017
It was already confirmed that Nigeria international Victor Moses won't be in action at Stamford Bridge for Chelsea's UEFA Champions League meeting with Roma on Wednesday night.
The likes of Tammy Abraham, Ola Aina and Ike Ugbo have been loaned out by the Premier League champions to Swansea City, Hull City and Barnsley respectively and, therefore, are not in the reckoning to feature against the Serie A club.
Jordan Aina, Faustino Anjorin and Tariq Uwakwe have not been considered part of Chelsea's first team by manager Antonio Conte and will, instead focus their attention on the UEFA Youth League match against Roma tomorrow afternoon at Cobham Training Centre.
Roma have confirmed via their official webpage that Nigerian right back Nura Abdullahi is not in their 19-man traveling party to the English capital, meaning he has to wait until match day four before a potential debut in the Champions League.
Abdullahi has yet to make his competitive debut for the Giallorossi and was an unused substitute in their loss to Napoili last weekend.
