It’s midway through our interview that Tino Anjorin’s tone briefly changes – his geniality replaced by frustration in an instant. “I hate being injured,” he says. “Absolutely hate it. Missing football, it’s the worst thing. I just want to play.”
That hasn’t happened enough this season, something Anjorin accepts. Yet it’s not for want of trying on the part of the 20-year-old. It’s why he has twice stepped away from the security of Chelsea this season.
His first loan move was to Lokomotiv Moscow; a huge step into the unknown and one that ended early due to injury. His second was completed at the end of January as Anjorin agreed to spend the remainder of the campaign at Huddersfield Town.
