According to Frank Lampard, the current manager of Chelsea, Reece James and Mason Mount, who are a defender and midfielder respectively, will not be able to play for the rest of the season due to injuries.
James and Mount are both facing injuries, with James out due to a hamstring injury and Mount sidelined with an abdominal problem. It’s possible that Mount might be able to return for the final game of the season.
James will not be available for the remainder of the season, although there is a small chance he may play in the last match. Lampard expressed disappointment about this news to reporters before the upcoming match against Brentford.
Kai Havertz is experiencing difficulty with his knee, but is expected to be fit for the end of the week.
Chelsea, currently ranked 11th in the league, are in danger of their poorest domestic league outcome in nearly three decades. They will attempt to break their seven-game losing streak in all competitions when they compete against Brentford.
Chelsea are currently trailing by five points behind their west London rivals, who have played an additional game, while Lampard is still in search of his first victory after taking over from Graham Potter at Stamford Bridge.
Lampard stated that he did not have high expectations for football, but he and his team were facing challenges due to the limited time they had at the club. Lampard also mentioned that he had lost his first four games.
There are many reasons why the team and club have been struggling, and we are here to offer assistance. However, it will take some time for things to improve.
Although Chelsea faces a difficult challenge in qualifying for Europe, motivating the players is not a concern for Lampard as there is nothing left to play for this season.
The speaker disagrees with the idea that there is nothing to play for in a season. They acknowledge that Chelsea has been lucky to have that mentality for a long time, but it’s unrealistic to expect to compete every season throughout a career.
We have seven games coming up, including three against the top four teams, and it will be interesting to observe the players’ response.
