Frank Lampard appears to agree with Diego Simeone’s doubts on Joao Felix after snubbing the Portuguese international for Chelsea's loss to Arsenal.
Former Arsenal captain Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang was making just his fifth Premier League start for the Blues, and his first since before the World Cup. It was an evening to forget, though, and he managed just nine touches before making way for Kai Havertz at the break.
On loan Felix was conspicuous by his absence, an unused substitute throughout the game, not introduced by Lampard even when his side were chasing goals in the second half to claw their way back into a game that they eventually lost 3-1.
