Frank Lampard has claimed that the Chelsea team he has inherited are not fit enough - and believes he does not have the time to fix the issue.
Lampard was welcomed back for a second spell at Stamford Bridge as the club's new caretaker manager earlier this month after the Blues hierarchy decided to axe Graham Potter after just six months at the helm. But the Chelsea legend's homecoming has been anything but a fairytale, with Saturday's disappointing 2-1 defeat against Brighton meaning that Lampard has now lost all three of his games since returning to the dugout.
And with a daunting trip to Real Madrid on the horizon in the Champions League, things are unlikely to get any easier for Lampard and the beleaguered Blues, who he believes are not on the same level physically as some of their domestic rivals.
