Chelsea manager Frank Lampard is expecting Billy Gilmour to ease his way back into action after next month's international break.

The Scottish teenager has been sidelined with a knee injury since the end of last season.

"Billy is working really well," Lampard told reporters ahead of Tuesday's clash with Sevilla. "He's probably three or four weeks away from his return.

"He's working outside with the physios at the moment but we hope to integrate him into training with either ourselves or the Under-21s at some point soon.

"We are probably looking at the other side of the next international break with Billy, all being well."
