Chelsea picture special: Rudiger, Giroud, Jorginho and Pulisic train ahead of Bournemouth clash

The games are coming thick and fast for Chelsea.

Four days after beating Lille to seal a spot in the last-16 of the Champions League and they're back in action as they welcome Bournemouth to Stamford Bridge in the Premier League.

Having lost 3-1 at Everton last weekend, it's important that the Blues get back on track as the likes of Manchester United, Wolves and Tottenham Hotspur are hunting them down for a top four spot.

Frank Lampard responds to Zaha, Chilwell and Ake rumours

Given the Cherries' recent form, the hosts will start the game as heavy favourites.

However, Frank Lampard has warned his side against complacency and used the West Ham United game as a reference point.

"Everyone said the same about West Ham, didn't they?," Lampard responded when asked if it's a good time to play Eddie Howe's side.

"West Ham... Everton were slightly different because I think everyone expected a bounce that was clearly a dangerous game anyway because they're a good team as well but I won't be going along those lines at all..."

In terms of team news, Fikayo Tomori will miss out once again as he struggles to overcome a hip problem which has seen him sit out the Toffees loss as well as the midweek win.

"[Fikayo] Tomori is not fit for the game, following on from the other day. Hopefully he should be training next week," Lampard added.

The good news for Lampard is that Antonio Rudiger and Olivier Giroud both took part in a full training session ahead of this afternoon's encounter in west London.

Rudiger played 90 minutes for the first time this season on Tuesday night and hasn't had a setback following a long injury layoff, while Giroud has been sidelined recently with an ankle problem.

Elsewhere, the Blues squad including the likes of Tammy Abraham, Christian Pulisic, N'Golo Kante and Jorginho were put through their paces at the club's training base in Cobham on Friday afternoon.
