Frank Lampard sends Mauricio Pochettino controversial triple Chelsea transfer hint with £202m call

Frank Lampard made several bold selection calls in Chelsea's XI to face Nottingham Forest in their penultimate home game of the season. It came one week after recording his first win as interim head coach, also earning the only points of his caretaker spell in charge too.

As well as 18-year-old Lewis Hall there was a return to the side for Mateo Kovacic, Raheem Sterling and Joao Felix as well as Edouard Mendy in goal. Kante's injury once more throws into doubt his potential new contract with continued concerns over how he will handle top-level football for a full season.
