Chelsea captain John Terry admits it's been a strange preseason without Frank Lampard. Lampard was released by Chelsea last month.
"It feels different coming in and Lamps not being sat next to me," Terry told Chelsea's official magazine.
"We have sat next to each other in the changing room since... well, since he signed for the club really. I've become really close to Lamps and Ash and they were my two best mates at the club.
"So I'm really sad to see arguably the best player the club has ever had, in Lamps, move on, for what he brought to the dressing room and as a mate.
"You understand that you all get older, but you just hope that point doesn't come."
