Frank Lampard will be working his Chelsea players hard in training in the next few days with no weekend game for the Blues. Manchester United's FA Cup participation means Chelsea are next in action on Wednesday, April 26 against Brentford where the extra few days rest could be huge for some players.
Following the Champions League quarter-final exit to Real Madrid, Lampard looks to almost have a fully fit squad at his disposal. A European spot being secured for next season would be a remarkable achievement, but the reality of the situation is, Chelsea's final few weeks of league action is largely redundant.
What the next seven games can be for some Chelsea stars is an opportunity to prove they are worthy of a spot in the first team next season. That could be slightly difficult for some players who are dealing with niggling injuries that could see them out of the picture for the final period.
