Frank Lampard’s press conference: On Abraham, West Ham and more

Chelsea will be looking to bounce back from two games without a victory on Saturday afternoon when they take on struggling West Ham United at Stamford Bridge. The Blues drew 2-2 away in Valencia on Wednesday evening and lost to Manchester City 2-1 the Saturday prior. Ahead of the game, Chelsea boss Frank Lampard has faced the press. On Tammy Abraham
We will know by the end of the weekend, he won’t be available for tomorrow. It is a squad game, the lads have been training well and when opportunities come they are ready.
On West Ham
I will just do my job. We know how passionate fans are, it will be on both sides. I think with the Premier League it is hard to make judgements at the start of the season. It is a tough league, I have good players. We have West Ham and have good individuals, good team and manager and we have to be ready for them. It’s a London derby, we have to be ready.
On Manuel Pellegrini
He is a good man and manager, he will be working hard to turn them around. We all know the ruthless nature of the game. Every team, every owner, everyone wants to push.
Worried about defence?
I didn’t like the last 20 minutes against Valencia, but I’m not concerned about defence. We have conceded more than we want. In the Premier League you are going to concede goals, there is always need for improvement. We are okay, but we want more.
Lots of games
It is the nature of these competitions. You need a big, competitive squad.
Batshuayi to start?
We’ll see. A work ethic, a quality. It is not easy when you are not playing as many minutes as you want. I have seen a great work ethic and his quality. It is great to see.
On Antonio Rudiger
He is getting closer, it is a mini pre-season, he is working very hard.
On Defence
I am pretty happy the way the team are playing. I think the balance is fluid, it’s every game and different. Man City I thought we were very good, and you can learn lessons.
On Kepa Arrizabalaga
I am happy, you can see the way he is training and he is looking to improve all the time. He is the first one to say when he should have done better.
