Frank Lampard on Callum Hudson-Odoi benching in Fulham win: 'He did deserve to start today'

Frank Lampard has admitted Hudson-Odoi could have started the game and the manager added that it's not easy for him to pick which attackers to play.

Lampard has also said Mount needs to score more goals.

"Callum could have deserved to start today, to be fair," Lampard told Sky Sports after the Fulham win.

"It's not easy for me on that side of the pitch at the moment so he had it, Tammy had it, Timo had it. I'm a bit disappointed he didn't get his goal.

"Mason was in a slightly deeper role at that point from where he could still arrive in the box. He needs to score more goals."

Chelsea fans were quite unimpressed to see Hudson-Odoi left out of the starting line-up after the winger's recent performances.

The young Englishman provided the spark that eventually led to Mount's goal against Fulham and has made a strong case to start against Leicester.
