Chelsea Roundup: Lampard Return, Hazard Injury Boost And More

Chelsea has had a difficult start under new manager Antonio Conte as they have failed to land their targets in the summer transfer window and have faced few difficulties in the opening weeks.

However, Conte has switched the system to 3-5-2 in an attempt to make their defense more solid which has helped Blues achieve five consecutive games in Premier League as they have demolished Manchester United 4-0 and Everton by 5-0 at Stamford Bridge. The Blues will be hoping to continue their good form in the coming weeks as they have a genuine chance to challenge for Premier League this season.

Here we look at all the stories around Chelsea today.

Brazilian international Oscar could leave Stamford Bridge in favor of Inter Milan or China, according to Daily Telegraph.

The 25-year old has been constantly overlooked by manager Conte in his new system and was restricted to bench which could the talented midfielder leave the club in search of first team football.

Chelsea legend Franck Lampard has announced that he would leave MLS club New York FC next month once his contract expires as he is speculated to make a return to Stamford Bridge.

The 38-year old has revealed that he would make a decision on his playing career in the near future but there has been reports that Chelsea are willing to offer him a role if he retires.

Chelsea goalkeeper Thibaut Courtois has hit out at FIFA over scheduling of the games as he admits that lack of holidays in the summer would result in injuries due to tight schedules of players.

“I don’t understand why we haven’t played two qualifiers this week. We play in November, we’ll play our next game in March and have to again play in June [the final round of World Cup qualifiers for this season],” Courtois told La Derniere Heure.

“Because of that, we’re going to lose three weeks of holiday. The person who drew up the fixture list understands nothing about football. We play seasons with more than 60 games, and recovery enables us to avoid injuries.”

Eden Hazard has provided an injury update after picking a knock on his calf during their 8-1 victory against Estonia during international duty.

The Belgian international has posted a pic with Crystal Palace striker Christian Benteke that stated: “Travelling home after a busy international break for @belgianreddevils with my friend @christianbenteke now back to business with @chelseafc.”

The 25-year old is very important for Chelsea as he has excelled in the recent weeks in the new system of Antonio Conte.

Manchester United and German club RB Leipzig are interested in signing 16-year old Chelsea sensation Reece James, according to Daily Mail.

The 16-year old James has been with the Blues since he was six and is speculated to be the next big thing from their academy. However, Leipzig who have been investing heavily on young talents across Europe are interested.

Leipzig are currently the joint league toppers with Bayern Munich in Bundesliga and has landed Oliver Burke in the summer which came as a shocker for a number of Premier League giants.
