Chelsea manager Lampard ready to play Gilmour more in second-half of season

Chelsea boss Frank Lampard admits he plans to involve Billy Gilmour in the second half of the season.

Gilmour played well against Morecombe, with Gilmour playing the full game in the middle of the park in the place of N'Golo Kante.

“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," the manager said.

“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, 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 is 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 they're own contributions are good."
