Frank Lampard confirms Chelsea scenario ahead of Leeds United clash
iexclusive News Nigerian reports that Chelsea are unbeaten across all competitions since the end of September and go into the game at Stamford Bridge on the back of a comprehensive 4-0 win over Sevilla on Wednesday night.
As a place in the Champions League last-16 was secured last week, it allowed Lampard to hand starts to Kai Havertz and Christian Pulisic, while Ben Chilwell was rested completely.
In fact, Lampard has stated that every member of his first-team squad is fit and available for selection against the Premier League new-boys.
“Everyone’s fit,” Lampard confirmed in his pre-match press conference.
Having no injury concerns to deal with is certainly a dream scenario for the Blues head coach as he will need to make full use of his squad against the Whites.
With that said, it also presents Lampard with somewhat of a selection headache as he must make tough decisions on which players to leave out.
However, he has revealed that he hopes to give Gilmour minutes this month.
“Possibly. We don’t have injuries tomorrow so players miss out on squads but Billy will hopefully get minutes,” Lampard added. “His quality will shine through.”
