Michy Batshuayi has found himself frozen out for Chelsea's Premier League restart.

Batshuayi was not selected to play in the club's in-house friendly last week.

The Athletic reports he only came on in the final stages of the training match and was one of only two players among the group without a shirt number.

Furthermore, the 26-year-old did not feature at all during Chelsea's friendly with Reading at Cobham training ground on Wednesday.

The Belgian has been understudy to Tammy Abraham this season, and it appears Frank Lampard is looking to offload the striker after agreeing a £53million deal to sign Timo Werner.

The club's decision to hand Olivier Giroud a fresh one-year contract last month also suggests Batshuayi is now bottom of the pecking order and surplus to requirements at Stamford Bridge.
