Chelsea manager Frank Lampard is unsure if they'll be allowed to work the January market.

Lampard has opened up on January transfer plans and whether he thinks Chelsea's ban will be lifted.

He said: “I don't know, is the answer. I don't know if we can.

“It is not in my hands so I wouldn't want to speculate if we can or can't.

“At the minute, we can't. I am just concentrating on what is ahead of us with the squad we have now.

“A club like Chelsea, we will always be looking at 'can we improve the squad?'

“If there is the potential to bring players in, at the moment I don't know the answer."
