Graham Potter has his own 'Frank Lampard' trick to use at Chelsea ahead of Newcastle clash

Conor Gallagher has been compared to Frank Lampard ahead of the 2022 World Cup after being named in Gareth Southgate's 26-man England squad.

The midfielder was a surprise inclusion in the cohort named on Thursday by the Three Lions boss after only being demoted to play with England's Under-21s in September. The 22-year-old is yet to play a game for his country whilst being in the Chelsea squad after all of his four games came whilst on-loan at Crystal Palace.

As a tenacious midfielder, Gallagher looked to have missed out on the chance of making the squad after a poor start to life at Stamford Bridge in which he was left floundering in midfield as a double-pivot before being sent off half an hour into his home debut.
