Press Conference: Frank Lampard on Manchester United, Kante injury, Pulisic and FA Cup

Manchester United and Chelsea put their Premier League top-four battle to one side this weekend as they lock horns in Sunday's FA Cup semi-final. Ahead of the game, Chelsea boss Frank Lampard has faced the press. First of all, Lampard has been asked if he is looking forward to seeing fans back at the stadiums in October. "I am very excited to welcome fans back, we all crave fans to be back at games. Atmosphere and what it means. If done in the right way, football has made some good steps." The boss provided an injury update on N'Golo Kante. "N'Golo Kante won't be fit. Other than that, a few niggles which we will monitor. We know they are playing well. Potent front three and Fernandes has made a big impact. We know the qualities and we have to deal with the threats," he said. Lampard also has been asked about Hakim Ziyech: "He has been here for the week, on his own and then with the team. He has been welcomed by the players, but he hasn't played for a while." Asked if there will be huge summer business, Lampard answered: "We'll see. I can't answer that yet, we have to concentrate on the matches." Lampard has been asked if they will win the FA Cup. "We have Manchester United ahead of us and then City or Arsenal, so it is going to be tough. Of course we want to win a trophy. We know what is in front of us. You fight on two fronts in the domestic season, we always want to win. We have done it very well in the modern era. We have an opportunity and it is up to the players and ourselves. United are in good form." The boss also spoke about Christian Pulisic: "I've seen a real improvement in his all-round game. The physical nature of the game. He has dealt with it better and he has worked a lot on that. Just his talent coming through. I am looking forward to seeing more of that, it can be the edge with goals and assists."
