Frank Lampard's dressing-down of Marcos Alonso at half-time against West Brom has thrown the defender's future in doubt. The player could leave Chelsea before the transfer window closes. Alonso is understood to have watched the second half from the team bus after being substituted at the halfway mark in Chelsea's 3-3 draw against West Brom. Lampard named the left-back as being at fault for two of the three goals in his post-match interview. "It is clear mistakes, the first one Marcos heads it into the middle of the pitch for a transition," Lampard said on Sky Sports after the match. "The Thiago one is a mistake and he has been around long enough to know that. We will give him that one in his first game for us. Then, Marcos loses his man from the third goal for a corner. Clear mistakes. You can do as many meetings as you want but you make those mistakes and you give yourselves a mountain to climb." According to the Atheltic and Goal the falling-out between Alonso and his manager could lead to a late change of plans at Stamford Bridge Lampard confirmed the team news ahead of the fourth-round match at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium. "[Edouard] Mendy and Chilwell are in the squad tomorrow," Lampard said. "They are fit and we will see if they start or not. [Hakim] Ziyech and [Christian] Pulisic are not far away but they are still in a recovery phase. Too early for them both."
