Frank Lampard was very quick to stress the significance of Mason Mount at Chelsea when appointed as the club's interim manager until the end of the season.
"Mason has always been a fantastic player for me at Derby and Chelsea," Lampard said in his first press conference upon his return. "I know he's had a few slight injury problems. I need to speak to him and find out where he's at, but I know what I get from Mason. He's a huge player for Chelsea.
"Modern-day football has big squads and I understand Chelsea might be at the top end. I remember being here before and having that. Maybe in the short-term, that's a positive thing for me because everyone can have a clean slate."
