Lampard speaks on rotating players vs Brentford

Chelsea caretaker manager Frank Lampard will be leading his squad to a game against Brentford on Wednesday at Stamford Bridge.

The Blues head to the match at the back of a repeated defeat and would hope to at least emerge winners in the game.

With some of the key players out on, Lampard was asked if he would use the remaining games to allow some of members of his squad to impress.

He confirmed that his approach to selection remains unchanged.

Lampard said: ‘If they deserve it, for sure. There’s the individual work of showing that you deserve it and I’m fully for that.

‘In my first period at the club I came in with a transfer ban and losing big players and everyone said of course the young players would get in the team. They got in the team because of how they trained and those things and that’s a culture you need at a football club and not something that should change just for the moment.

‘Every day in training is an opportunity now to try and show you deserve to be in the team I’ve shown as a coach, if you do that you’ll always get an opportunity with me.’
