Chelsea boss Frank Lampard feels for Ruben Loftus-Cheek during the coronavirus lockdown.

Loftus-Cheek had been stepping up his recovery from Achilles surgery, but Lampard understands that is another issue which cannot be rushed.

"I suppose in a few cases, it is a bit frustrating because we had just got to the stage where Ruben Loftus-Cheek was looking like he might be ready to play soon, so that match fitness thing we were looking for, we have kind of lost that," the Chelsea manager said.

"When you talk about people like N'Golo Kante, who has had issues recently and was injured and Callum Hudson-Odoi, then that has given us some time, so when we resume, hopefully they will all be in a better place."
