Frank Lampard said young star Isaac Price has put himself 'into the first team equation' with his performances during the club's trip to Australia.
The 19-year-old played the full 90 minutes against Celtic and Western Sydney Wanderers, impressing in both Sydney Super Cup fixtures. His displays were all the more significant due to the lack of recognised senior central midfielders around him. Abdoulaye Doucoure lasted just the first half against Celtic, though managed most of the 5-1 win over Wanderers.
Lampard praised all of the youngsters after six academy stars finished Wednesday's match on the pitch. They included goalscorer Tom Cannon and Stanley Mills, whose break into the box and shot created Cannon's goal.
