You will get Chelsea chance if you deserve it – Frank Lampard tells these two Chelsea players

Chelsea boss Frank Lampard insists Noni Madueke and Carney Chukwuemeka will get chances for Chelsea before the end of the season ‘if they deserve it’.

Madueke joined Chelsea in a £29 million deal from PSV in the January transfer window but the 21-year-old has started just two games in the Premier League since his move to Stamford Bridge.

Chukwuemeka, meanwhile, was signed for £20m from Aston Villa last summer but has also struggled to secure a place in the team, starting just one game for Chelsea in all competitions this season.

When asked if Madueke and Chukwuemeka will receive more playing time before the end of the season, Lampard replied: “If they deserve it. If they deserve it, for sure.

“I think there are two things, there is the individual work of showing that you deserve it, I’m fully for that.

“In the first period at the club I came in with the transfer ban and losing big players and everyone said, ‘of course, young players get in the team’. They got in the team because they deserved it because of how they train and those things.

“And that’s a culture and a way that you have to have at a top football club. And I don’t think that changes just for the moment, that should always be there.

“So players have to train and those seven games and days of training now are all opportunities to show you deserve to be in the team.

“As I think I’ve probably shown as a coach, if you do that you’ll probably get an opportunity with me.”
