Frank Lampard has high hopes for the role Raheem Sterling could play before the end of the season and believes he has the pedigree to put in a performance that could set down a marker against Real Madrid.
Chelsea's summer signing has not truly flourished in Chelsea colours and struggled to make an impact in Saturday's defeat against Wolves. The winger made his first start since returning from injury at Molineux having struggled with a hamstring injury in 2023.
Despite both his and Chelsea's struggles, Sterling has managed seven goals in 29 games for the Blues but worryingly only two have come since the World Cup break and the former Man City star managed four strikes before the end of September. Nevertheless, Lampard holds Sterling in high regard.
