Frank Lampard reveals Wesley Fofana decision for Bournemouth vs Chelsea

Frank Lampard has explained why there was no room for Wesley Fofana in the Chelsea squad to face Bournemouth on Saturday. He had started the last five league games but was replaced by Benoit Badiashile in the starting lineup for the trip to the south coast.

The Blues head into the game without a win in eight having conceded three first half goals in north London on Tuesday but rotated against Gary O'Neil's Cherries with Conor Gallagher, Mykhailo Mudryk and Kai Havertz also coming into the team.

Fofana has struggled with injuries this season having spent most of last year out with a long-term knee setback as well. Lampard revealed that there isn't too much to be concerned about here, though.
