Chelsea add several academy players to Champions League squad to play Bayern Munich

Chelsea have added several academy players to their Champions League squad ahead of Saturday's clash against Bayern Munich. Lewis Bate, Dynel Simeu and Ian Maatsen joined the squad following Chelsea's injury crisis. These academy players have been training with the first-team since May, but those other than Maatsen are yet to make their professional debuts. Armando Broja and Henry Lawrence could also travel with the squad to Germany, having been named in the club's B-list earlier this week. Of all the player's manager, Lampard has handed senior debuts to, Maatsen is the youngest and is likely to appear again against Bayern.  Striker Broja, who signed his first professional contract in March, has also featured once for the Blues during their 4-0 win over Everton. Chelsea suffered a triple injury blow in the FA Cup final as captain Cesar Azpilicueta, goalscorer Christian Pulisic and Pedro were all forced off injured. Source: Daily Mail
