“They are both fit to start”, Lampard confirms double injury boost for Chelsea ahead of Bayern clash

0

Chelsea boss Frank Lampard has confirmed in his pre-match press conference that both N’Golo and Ruben Loftus-Cheek are ‘fit to start’ in tomorrow night’s Champions League tie against Bayern Munich.

Kante has not played for the Blues over the last month, whilst academy graduate Loftus-Cheek has been in the matchday squads but has seen little action.

The Blues face a near impossible task against the Bundesliga champions, with the chances of overturning a 3-0 deficit already very slim, any injury boosts will certainly be welcomed.

Given that an upset is very unlikely for a side that are without skipper Cesar Azpilicueta and in-form main man Christian Pulisic, the best thing the Blues can do is end their season with a valiant effort.

However, Chelsea fans are delighted that the Premier League and World Cup winner is back on the eve of their season likely being ended, it will end a difficult campaign for the Frenchman on an encouraging note.
