Chelsea caretaker manager Frank Lampard told his press conference on Thursday afternoon that there would be a clear list of all the players in the squad as they would all have a fighting chance to win a trophy. position in the team.
As impressive as this idea is because Chelsea have a lot of players on the team who lack game time, which is also a huge gap. That's because Frank Lampard doesn't have much time left and neither does Chelsea.
With nine Premier League matches this season, Chelsea have struggled to qualify for the Conference League or Europa League. They could also try to win the UEFA Champions League, but that is just too far away. Frank Lampard didn't have time to experiment with players so he had to deal with players already in the starting XI.
One change Frank Lampard could hope to make is to replace Kepa Arrizabalaga with Edouard Mendy, but that can quickly go wrong. Kepa Arrizabalaga has not had a great time under Frank Lampard due to poor form, but Edouard Mendy has not played for Chelsea this year and Kepa Arrizabalaga has become the goalkeeper of choice in this period.
However, no one would really flinch if Frank Lampard replaced Kai Havertz with Pierre Emerick Aubameyang in Chelsea's starting XI. Athletic once reported that Frank Lampard wants Aubameyang before Chelsea sack him in 2021. Now he has the opportunity to work with him, and to make it easier, Kai Havertz has not made such an impression.

Lights have a chance for Mudryk
Lampard tried to sign Mykhaylo Mudryk last summer while managing Everton, but the club's offer was turned down.

He inherits the Ukrainian winger, who turned down interest from Arsenal and moved to Stamford Bridge in January. However, he failed to build on the success in his first game against Liverpool. In Potter's final weeks, Mudryk wasn't even available, but now Lampard will have the chance to side with the man he wants at Goodison Park.
