Deespite a mammoth squad of 32 players, Frank Lampard is watching his Chelsea group get smaller and smaller by the day. The interim coach only has three games left to see out for the season ahead of a summer expected to be full of change.
Not only will there be a new manager in charge - still likely to be Mauricio Pochettino after football.london understands a deal has been agreed with the Blues - but there will also be a mass clearout of players. It could leave the incumbent head coach with at least 15 players fewer on his hands.
Given that Lampard is now without Ben Chilwell, Marc Cucurella, Mason Mount, Reece James, Armando Broja, N'Golo Kante, Mateo Kovacic, Kalidou Koulibaly and potentially now Benoit Badiashile too, until the end of the season, even a squad as large as Chelsea's is looking depleted in certain areas.
