Frank Lampard confirms huge Chelsea injury blow with four key players out for Liverpool

Frank Lampard has given the latest Chelsea injury news ahead of the big Premier League match against Liverpool on Sunday.

The Blues got off to a decent start to their campaign on Monday night when they beat Brighton & Hove Albion at the AMEX Stadium.

But this weekend will be a much tougher ask when they host the current champions, who got their defence under way with a 4-3 victory over new boys Leeds United.

The Blues were without Christian Pulisic, Ben Chilwell and Thiago Silva for the match on the south coast.

And Lampard gave the latest on the injury news for the match against Liverpool, and it wasn't the best news for Blues fans

"Chilwell is not ready for the game, neither is Christian Pulisic. We hope they will work well during the week.

"Hakim Ziyech is also not ready for the game. Werner is fit, though.

"Thiago has been training for the last three or four days, but Liverpool will come too soon for him."

Werner suffered a dead leg in the match at Brighton, but he has recovered and is back in time for the match this weekend.

But missing Ziyech, Chilwell, Pulisic and Thiago will be a disappointment for the Blues boss.
