Chelsea boss Lampard says Gilmour will start against Krasnodar

Chelsea boss Frank Lampard says Billy Gilmour will see action against Champions League opponents Krasnodar tomorrow.

Lampard has told his press conference that the Scot is getting the chance to impress after overcoming a knee injury.

He said: "Billy will start tomorrow and I don't want to have that thought [about a loan away] until the window opens.

"We have options, but that can quickly change. I will make that decision going forward."

Meanwhile, Timo Werner's form in front of goal does not concern Lampard at this point in time.

Chelsea's attack is firing but there is a sense that there is more to come from the German.

Lampard said: "I have no worries about Timo. he has made a big impact already.

"He has created chances and he is going to be a huge player for this club. I don't think that the Spain vs Germany game had an impact on him, it's just a small moment."
