Abdoulaye Doucoure has revealed he still doesn't understand why he was frozen out by Frank Lampard and hailed the appointment of Sean Dyche.
Doucoure was told to train on his own in the final week of Lampard’s tenure as manager and was overlooked for a 2-0 defeat by West Ham United at the London Stadium following a dressing-room row.
The midfielder, it is claimed, stood up for his team-mate Idrissa Gana Gueye, who was at the centre of a heated confrontation with Lampard after the 2-1 loss to Southampton. However, while Doucoure was frozen out, Gueye would play the full 90 minutes against David Moyes’ side.
