The return of Frank Lampard to the Stamford Bridge bench could change a lot of things in the Chelsea facing the summer, both for the next season and for the transfer market that is coming.
The English coach will have the responsibility of finishing the campaign with the aim of trying to qualify the Blue team for a European competition and go as far as possible in the current edition of the UEFA Champions League, where they will face Real Madrid in the Quarterfinals .
The two possible beneficiaries of Lampard’s return to Chelsea
Frank Lampard can radically change the present and future of several players within the squad, who could once again win continuity and a long-term position at the club. Everything will depend on his performance, but there are two names that seem to benefit greatly from his return to the Stamford Bridge bench. We are talking about Edouard Mendy and Mason Mount.
Edouard Mendy lost the starting position in goal for the Blue team with Graham Potter on the bench, but everything could change with Lampard. The Englishman was the one who requested the signing of him at the time and bet on him until he was fired. The Senegalese could win the position and ensure his continuity on the bench if he manages to perform at a high level.
On the other hand, Mason Mount had also lost his starting position with Graham Potter plus the arrival of the signings in the winter market. The Englishman is an old acquaintance of Lampard, who bet on him throughout his entire stage. He knows it perfectly because he also had it on his stage at the Derby. It is a golden opportunity to see if he can continue and renew his contract, which ends in the summer of 2024. His future can change radically.
