Leicester boss Brendan Rodgers reckons that Frank Lampard, recently sacked by Chelsea, has not been given enough time at Stamford Bridge.

"Clearly I'm really sad for Frank and his staff. I know how much the club means to him," he said.

"Looking at the squad and how young they are, they need time. He hasn't been given that time. I really feel for him. He did great at Derby.

"He had the courage to step out of an amazing career and could have taken an easier route. It was a job he couldn't turn down, even though he didn't have a lot of experience.

"Results haven't been what he would have wanted, but I feel it's a job that needed time."
