Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang handed Chelsea lifeline with Frank Lampard verdict made clear

Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang has been dealt a boost in his Chelsea career following Frank Lampard's appointment as caretaker manager. The striker faces an increasingly uncertain future at Stamford Bridge after only signing for the Blues in the summer.

Aubameyang signed from Barcelona towards the end of the summer transfer window and joined up with former manager Thomas Tuchel. However, the German's exit in September saw him fall down the pecking order under Graham Potter, with only 18 appearances all season and three goals.

Since the turn of the year, the 33-year-old has made just five appearances and was dropped from the club's Champions League squad for the knockout stages. However, he could be set to be handed a lifeline to his second spell in the Premier League by Lampard.
