Ahead of the Premier League game against Everton, Chelsea boss Frank Lampard has given an injury update on Ruben Loftus-Cheek and Christian Pulisic.

“We just had an in-house game here which Ruben and Christian Pulisic took part in,” Lampard said.

“It’s great to see Christian get some minutes. He’s short of match fitness but it’s the first time the injury has felt at a level to get him on a big pitch in a relatively competitive match. That’s a big step forward, hopefully.

“Ruben played half of that game himself. He is trying to find match fitness. He’s short of that, Ruben is saying that himself and I can see that. There is work to do.”
