Frank Lampard says youngster Billy Gilmour will get a chance against Sevilla

Share This

Chelsea fans have been singing praises of their manager Frank Lampard for his side's performances in their games so far in the season. 

It's starting to look like the former Derby County boss made some great signings in the summer which seems to have turned the fortune of things at the club. 

At the moment, Chelsea are looking like Premier League title contenders following  their series of results. 

If you recall that last week, Chelsea played a goalless draw against Tottenham Hotspur who are currently on top of the league. 

Chelsea are back in the UEFA Champions League on Wednesday night when they face Sevilla.

Although, it's understood that both ubs have sealed their qualifications for the next phase of the competition, but they are aiming for who will top the group. 

Ahead of the game, Lampard have  revealed he could hand youngster Billy Gilmour a chance for game time. 

The young Chelsea academy graduate has just recovered from a knee injury which ruled him out for the remaining few games of last season. 

Lampard said of 19-year-old Gilmour: "He is looking spot on and will come in to compete with the other players in that midfield area.

"He is fit now and in the squad. It would be nice if he could get some minutes in the remaining two Champions League group games. Minutes are hard to get in Covid times."

Recall that Chelsea drew 0-0 at Stamford Bridge in October against Sevilla in the first leg, with Edouard Mendy making some outstanding saves in the game. 


Lampard added: "I hopefully see him coming back at the level he was at before he got injured. He made a great impact and there will be so much more to come from him at this club because of the talent he has."


It's been gathered that going into this game, the statistics don't favour Chelsea. The Blues have only won one of their last 10 games against Spanish opponents in the Champions League.
