Frank Lampard has admitted Lewis Hall is in contention to start for Chelsea against Nottingham Forest. The Blues will welcome Steve Cooper's side to Stamford Bridge on Saturday afternoon, with Ben Chilwell and Marc Cucurella expected to miss the clash.
The England international limped off in the second-half of Chelsea's win over Bournemouth last weekend after pulling his hamstring. Chilwell has been plagued with various injuries in recent seasons and it looks to be a 'tight call' as to whether he'll return before the end of the campaign.
Cucurella, on the other hand, picked up a knock to his quadricep in training and he too could miss the west Londoners' remaining games. So, with Lampard light on options at left-back, Chelsea stopped Hall from joining up with England’s Under-20 World Cup squad.
