Frank Lampard has hinted that Benoit Badiashile could start for Chelsea ahead of their trip to the south-coast to take on Bournemouth on Saturday afternoon. The Blues caretaker boss has lost all six of his games in charge so far after returning to the club on an interim basis until the end of the season.
If Chelsea lose again on Saturday they will have equalled an unwanted club record - making it the third time in the club's history where they have lost seven games in a row - something that hasn't happened since 1961. There are plenty of issues at Stamford Bridge that need addressing and one of those is the inflated squad Lampard has to deal with.
Badiashile was one of eight new arrivals in January which saw the squad numbers rise to over 30 players. The Frenchman faces competition for a starting spot against the likes of Thiago Silva, Wesley Fofana and Trevoh Chalobah at present - with Kalidou Koulibaly and Marc Cucurella currently sidelined with injuries.
