THERE is a busy week ahead for Frank Lampard and Chelsea.
After an emphatic 5-2 victory over Wolves at the weekend, the new Blues boss now looks forward to his European bow against Valencia at The Bridge - while they hope to tie down a star of the future.
BLUES youngster Ian Maatsen is set to follow the example of Billy Gilmour in signing a new long-term contract at Stamford Bridge.
The 17-year-old left-back arrived at Stamford Bridge from PSV Eindhoven last summer and was occasionally called up to train with Maurizio Sarri's senior team last term.
According to The Athletic, Frank Lampard has followed his predecessor by calling up the Dutchman to train with the first team following an injury to Emerson Palmieri.
FRANK LAMPARD says Chelsea’s talented youngsters will have to be “spot on” with their concentration when they make the step up in class to play in the Champions League.
The Blues are set to face the Spanish side and Ajax and Lille in the group stages when they return to the Champions League following a 12-month absence.
The manager said: “The different level can surprise you.
“The main thing is that the concentration levels throughout the game have to be spot on. It will be that focus. That is the main point.”
