Chelsea caretaker boss Frank Lampard has insisted that he has inherited an unfit squad of players. The Blues have fallen to three straight defeats under Lampard after sacking Graham Potter at the start of the month.
Lampard's return to Stamford Bridge over the weekend ended in disaster as Brighton & Hove Albion won 2-1 in west London. The defeat was Chelsea's 12th of the season, leaving them 17 points behind the Champions League places.
With a daunting Champions League tie against Real Madrid on the horizon - with the Blues 2-0 down from the first-leg - Lampard's second stint in charge isn't likely to get easier.
