Frank Lampard has a lot to consider ahead of taking on Real Madrid and selecting a team to take to the field at the Bernabeu will be no simple task.
The Blues caretaker boss saw his first match in charge ended in defeat against Wolves with a change to a back four seeming to slow any progress made in the attacking sense over the course of 2023. Chelsea head into the Champions League clash having not scored since before the international break, leaving Lampard with a problem that has persisted throughout the season to fix.
The 44-year-old manager will be able to call upon Thiago Silva, Mason Mount and N'Golo Kante for the first time since returning to the club as the trio trained before making the flight to Madrid. Kante was rested against Wolves to manage his minutes having spent most of the season out with injury, while Silva has not played since he was forced against Tottenham in February and Mount has also not featured since the same match.
