Chelsea boss Lampard praises frozen out Jorginho

Chelsea boss Frank Lampard has praised the attitude of Jorginho as the midfielder remains on the outer.

Jorginho hasn't yet featured since the restart.

But Lampard says, "He's been very professional about it. He wants to play as every player does. One of the hardest parts of the job is telling a player they're not playing, particularly when they train well, and Jorginho always trains well.

"He has handled it professionally, and that's what I would expect.

"It's important players over the course of a long season, in a competitive squad like we have, are there to support other players when they're playing and they're out. We'll see with my selection tomorrow whether he plays."
