Frank Lampard has hinted that a number of young players at Chelsea could feature in their final three Premier League fixtures of the season. Lewis Hall was handed a rare start against Nottingham Forest with Ben Chilwell and Marc Cucurella both sidelined with injuries.
The youngster put in a solid performance against Forest and looks to have a bright future at Stamford Bridge - with the potential to develop into a better player under incoming head coach Mauricio Pochettino. The 51-year-old has reached an agreement with the Blues to become manager ahead of the 2023/24 season, with a contract yet to be signed, football.london understands.
Pochettino has a reputation for developing young talent into world-class players and Todd Boehly has done a fine job of securing the signings of some of the hottest prospects across Europe. Noni Madueke, Benoit Badiashile, Mykhailo Mudryk, Omari Hutchinson, Carney Chukwuemeka, David Datro Fofana and Gabriel Slonina are all tipped for bright futures and Lampard may look to give them a chance in the senior team with three games left to play this term.
