Lampard speaks on Mount ahead of game vs Wolves

Chelsea will return to action this weekend when they face Wolverhampton Wanderers in the EPL after their goalless draw vs Liverpool during the week.

The Blues head to the match under a new interim manager Frank Lampard.

Ahead of the match, Lampard, who handed Mason Mount Chelsea debut in 2019 spoke about the England star who he worked with at Derby County.

While Mount has had injury issues this season, Lampard is, however, hopeful of having the Academy graduate back on the squad.

‘Mason has always been a fantastic player for me, from my days at Derby, the impact he had there, to when I came back to Chelsea. It’s with absolute pleasure that I’ve watched him and others that I coached in that period – like Reece James, Tammy Abraham, Fikayo Tomori and others – to have gone and been huge players either here or elsewhere.

‘With Mason I know he’s had a few slight injury problems as I understand it. The important thing for me will be to talk to him and find out where he’s at but I know what I get from Mason. So I just want to see him perform on the pitch and we have a good relationship so we’ll talk a lot. I think he’s a huge player for Chelsea and has been during his time here.’
