Mudryk talk, Pulisic joke - Three things spotted from Frank Lampard's first Chelsea training session

There's a familiar face back at Cobham as Frank Lampard took his first Chelsea training session on Thursday after making his return to the club. The former midfielder and head coach was appointed as caretaker manager for the rest of the season, taking over from Graham Potter after he was dismissed last week.

There will be hopes that the ex-England international can turn around form at the west London club, while the hierarchy is given more time to make the correct next appointment. Lampard's first match of his second stint will be away at Wolves on Saturday, with some huge decisions to make on his team.

One of those will be over the starting XI at his disposal, with the training session in the lead up to the game potentially having an impact on the side. With that said, here's a look at a few things spotted in Lampard's first training session back at Chelsea.

Mudryk talk

One of the key things spotted from training was an individual chat between both Lampard and Mykhailo Mudryk - with the Ukrainian wanted by the manager during his time at Everton. The winger is yet to hit the ground running since his huge January transfer, but there will be hopes that the caretaker can unlock the best from him.

Striker involvement

Another part of the session spotted was some individual instructions for youngster David Datro Fofana, who has been handed one start this season since joining the club. It remains to be seen how much of a part he could play under Lampard, but he too could be given a kickstart to his time in west London.

Pulisic chat

The atmosphere around the club after recent results would have been understandably difficult to manage, but it was all smiles on Thursday. Lampard reunited with a number of stars and was even spotted laughing and joking with Christian Pulisic on the training pitch.
