Frank Lampard believes that Chelsea's transfer ban could be a blessing in disguise.
The Blues are unable to make signings due to a FIFA transfer ban, while their Court of Arbitration appeal still does not have a date.
But Lampard believes that he cannot dwell on the past, and he believes that a transfer ban could have a positive impact as well.
Speaking about the transfer ban, Lampard said to reporters: "It is a waste of time to think about what could have been or should have been.
"My job is to have absolute belief in the players and the week's training has started to give me that because I can see quality and attitude.
"When you know where you're at, it hones in what is important which is the club being together, the staff, fans, everybody giving everything to improve.
"With the squad we have this season we can be really competitive.
"It helps my focus. The blessing in disguise is that we don't have a stressful start of August with the transfer window."
