Chelsea boss Frank Lampard hints James could be deployed in new position

Chelsea boss Frank Lampard says Reece James should be deployed in central midfield in the future. James was selected in right-back position ahead of Cesar Azplicueta for Chelsea’s 2-0 win over Crystal Palace on Saturday. Lampard will be keen to retain experience in his defence having played a youthful back four of James (19), Kurt Zouma (25), Fikayo Tomori (21) and Emerson (25) on Saturday. "Right-back would be his favoured position," Lampard said in quotes reported by Metro. "Whether it be there, right wing-back or right of a three. "As he’s coming into the team, you’d see him there but he does have that all-round game that he could handle playing centrally in midfield if needs be. At the moment we’ve got good players in there who are used to playing in there anyway, but he could always do that as he matures through his career." In their next Premier League clash, Chelsea to play Manchester City, on Saturday, November 23.
