Abramovich will not be happy with Lampard for this decision after United Loss

The Chelsea board won’t be happy with Frank Lampard’s decision to stick with Willy Caballero in goal for Chelsea’s 2-0 defeat to Manchester United.

This is according to Manchester United legend Gary Neville.

Neville acknowledged Lampard has been placed in a difficult position given the form of Kepa Arrizabalaga, but believes a bold call is unlikely to be appreciated by the Chelsea board.

Neville also noted Lampard is devaluing Kepa Arrizabalaga and the board won’t be happy about it.

It’s a big risk from Frank, he’s (Caballero) obviously not the long-term solution so you’re essentially devaluing a £70million player,’ Neville said while co-commentating on Sky Sports.

“You have to make big decisions as a manager and that’s what Frank Lampard has done but I don’t think it will be a popular one with the powers that be here.”
