Chelsea boss Lampard insists Pedro not for sale

Chelsea boss Frank Lampard insists Pedro is not for sale.

The veteran attacker, off contract in June, has been linked with a move away this month.

But Lampard said on Friday: "Pedro is part of my plans.

"We started the season and he was in the team but then unfortunately he got injured at Norwich before the game and was then out for a while. I do have competition in that area so he's played a few games here and there but I know he wants to play more and I get that.

"He certainly has something that he can contribute to us, with his experience and his ability to break lines, run behind people and maybe get those goals in and around the box. We need everybody because football can change very quickly."
