Frank Lampard says Kepa Arrizabalaga could return for Tuesday's FA Cup fifth-round clash with Liverpool.

The Spaniard has not featured in the last six matches across all competitions.

Questions have been asked about the future of the £72m signing, but it looks like he'll get another shot to prove himself against the Reds at Stamford Bridge.

"Yes, Kepa [is in contention]," Lampard told a press conference. "He has been professional as expected, trained well and kept his head down, supporting the team and the group. He has been good, but I say the same every week as I get asked this every week."

Asked whether he is planning to rely on Kepa in the long-term, Lampard responded: "Yeah, every player is in control of their destiny in how they train and how they play.

"This is Chelsea and we're trying to close the gap to the top, so there can be no one who is relaxed or loose, we have to push every day.

"And try to win the game in front of us, train well on the day in front of you.

"Of course, we have to look at the group in the summer. But there are no decisions beyond the game tomorrow night as far as I'm concerned."
