Chelsea midfielder Willian is upset being blocked from joining Barcelona last month.

The Sun says manger Frank Lampard ditched Willian from his starting XI to face Leicester last weekend as he was sulking after not being allowed a move to Barcelona.

The Brazilian winger is out of contract with the Blues at the end of the season, and doesn't appear to be any closer to agreeing a new deal.

The 31-year-old was linked with a move to Barcelona, who are suffering from a shortage of attackers following injuries to Luis Suarez and Ousmane Dembele.

However, Willian was unable to clinch a switch away from Stamford Bridge, much to his annoyance.

And Lampard made the decision not to start Willian because he was left disappointed that Chelsea opted to keep hold of him, instead of letting him join Barcelona.
