Former Chelsea boss Claudio Ranieri has urged fans not to jeer Frank Lampard when he returns with Manchester City.
Ranieri was the Blues boss who signed the midfielder from West Ham for £11m in the summer of 2001.
"I hope that the Chelsea fans welcome him back to Stamford Bridge," said Ranieri.
"He did great things for Chelsea. He deserves a good welcome from the fans for all the years he played for them and all the trophies he won and the goals he scored."
