Frank Lampard believes that it is possible Carney Chukwuemeka can have the best of both worlds by remaining with Chelsea, having not been allowed to immediately join up with England's under-20 World Cup squad. Injuries to Ben Chilwell and Marc Cucurella prevented Lewis Hall from being named in the squad at all, while issues in the centre of the pitch have seen Chukwuemeka prevented from travelling to Argentina for the group stage of the tournament, but he could still feature if the Three Lions reach the knockout stages.
The former Aston Villa youngster is yet to feature under Lampard, with fixtures against Manchester City, Manchester United and Newcastle remaining. Chukwuemeka has earned just 371 minutes all season since joining from the Midlands club, and was keen to make the trip to South America as he looks to find some momentum.
Chelsea's caretaker manager was keen to impress the needs of the club for the final stretch of the season however. Lampard conceded that he did feel for his charge however.
