Chelsea centre-back Tosin Adarabioyo has hit back at the suggestion that this current squad was too young and inexperienced to cope with the big occasion of a Champions League game away to Bayern Munich.The 27-year-old is one of the older players in this Chelsea squad, though he is also one of many without much experience of playing in Europe’s top club competition.It certainly seemed like Chelsea were given a bit of a shock at the Allianz Arena, with Bayern finding it all too easy to punish a few sloppy mistakes in a 3-1 win for the Bundesliga giants.Adarabioyo, however, spoke with reporters in the mixed zone after the game and clearly took issue with age being brought up as a concern.Tosin Adarabioyo rubbishes talk that Chelsea players are too youngTosin Adarabioyo in action for Chelsea (Photo by Alex Grimm/Getty Images)Adarabioyo insisted age has got “absolutely nothing to do with it” as he pointed to the club’s success in the Club World Cup over the summer.Watch the video clip below as the defender played down the youthfulness of the Chelsea squad as a concern…?
