Chelsea head coach Frank Lampard sends a message to midfielder Billy Gilmour

Chelsea manager Frank Lampard has spoken out on youngster Billy Gilmour following their 4-0 win over Morecambe on Sunday in the FA Cup 3rd round. Gilmour started from the first minutes against Morecambe and played until the end. During this season, the youngster has made overall 7 appearances for the Blues as he had been out with a knee injury. Speaking at his post-match news conference, Lampard said: “I think Billy is pushing [for a regular run in the first team] and has been since he made his breakthrough last season against top-level opposition. “His injury came soon after that but from those moments I knew Billy would be a very, very good player for this club, to say the least. “Today [against Morecambe], he came in, his attitude was good, he moved the ball well. When you talk about the academy players, people talk about the youth of this squad. “But also the youth of this squad are performing very well for us. We can’t ask them to be absolutely consistent and killers like other players in the league. “That will come but at the moment I think their own contributions are good.” source - TheSportReview / Join us on Telegram
