Said he used Pedro because of his CL experience, which is ironic considering he started 3 players without any CL experience to begin with.

Doesn't matter. The main point is, if the player hasn't recovered sufficiently, don't risk or rush him back early! It was what got Rudiger and Kante into this injury mess in the first place.

But he didn't start the game because he wasn't 100% fit, no? Kante played the Liverpool few days later and has been out injured until now. Rudiger returned last week at Wolves from a knee injury and ended up with a groin injury. Obviously, I don't know the fitness conditions of the players and what conditioning work Lampard and co. do with the players but we should only start them again when we're absolutely certain they're 100% alright, and not try and force it. Otherwise, we'll never have the entire squad available at a point.

FINALLY CONFIRMED!!!!

We need to stop doing this and only play players that are FULLY fit. How many times has Rudiger suddenly come back & then, immediately return to the injury list? Same with Kante!

Erm, new deal finally confirmed? https://www.skysports.com/football/news/11668/11814196/callum-hudson-odoi-commits-future-to-chelsea-on-long-term-contract

Yup, he can come home...and be the fourth choice winger.

Don't think anyone is disputing Barkley's penalty taking ability. It's just...oh nevermind.

Have you seen Pulisic play before joining Chelsea? If yes, sporadically or often?

Hope we don't force it with Mount. If he needs time to recover, let him have it. Last thing we need is another long term injury!

Willian has got more CL goals than Hazard - 14 to 8 (counting from 2011/12 when Hazard first started playing in CL). 🙈

Yeah, saw that. I don't blame him for wanting to join his dream club but it's gonna be funny if it ends up worse than his time here. Zidane hasn't got a clue right now.

And TBH, he's had like only 2 good CL performances for us - against Maribor and Atletico. Otherwise, he's AWOL in the competition.

Pardon me for being a bastard but nice to see Hazard having a fucked up time in Madrid, so far anyway.

Mourinho is gonna end up back at Madrid fast at this rate.

Things are sure going well for him in Madrid...

And of course, Juve go score out of nowhere...

Sarriball is going well at Juventus it seems...

Dinamo Zagreb are one of the worst ever UCL sides and Atalanta are 3-0 down against them?! 😳

Assuming what Lampard said last night was true, then I think it's one of two things - (a) he has told them the designated takers but it wasn't made clear enough because otherwise, we wouldn't have seen all that commotion between Willian, Barkley, Jorginho and to a lesser extent Abraham or (b) the others decided to break ranks and go against what was told.
