Young Chelsea winger part of Frank Lampard's training amid Willian and Pedro stand-off

Frank Lampard is still unsure if he will have Willian and Pedro as Chelsea players for the remainder of the 2019/20 season.

The pair are yet to sign extensions with the club, with their current contracts running out at the end of June.

According to the Telegraph, Lampard is making plans in case the duo don't agree a new deal, something which has to be done by June 23 if they are to feature for the Blues in July.

One of those plans appears to be bringing in young winger Tino Livramento has part of the training squad ahead of the Premier League's return.

Chelsea fans shouldn't worry about Timo Werner transfer

The 17-year-old has impressed at youth level and signed his first professional contract in November with the Blues.

Livramento can play in several positions. For the younger teams, he has shifted between right-back, wing-back and also winger.

With a natural speed and skill, he has proved dangerous when on the front foot and getting at defenders.

Its's unlikely that Livramento will get a chance in the first team, with Lampard still hoping that Willian and Pedro sign extensions on their deals.

However, the Premier League has extended the amount of substitutes to allow five per match, with nine players allowed on the bench.

Christian Pulisic and Callum Hudson-Odoi could feature heavily, while Ruben Loftus-Cheek and Mason Mount have the ability to play on the wings if needed.

Lampard has used several youngsters over the course of the 'pre-season' and part of the two friendlies against Reading and QPR.

Karlo Ziger, Armando Broja, Henry Lawrence, Tino Anjorin and Lewis Bate have all been given a chance to impress with the first team.

The Blues take on Aston Villa on Sunday afternoon in their first match back in the Premier League, before hosting Manchester City on Thursday.
