Chelsea manager Frank Lampard explained Christian Pulisic’s absence of the day to face Everton tonight.
The Blues have been stuck in action lately with Carlo Ancelotti in Goodison Park.
Chelsea, of course, have good-humoured debates on the club’s field, amid a recent twinkling spell.
In the last outing from the capital, they drew 1-1 through Krasnodar on Tuesday, albeit in a negligible clash of the Champions League stage.
However, this has extended Lampard’s undefeated streak to 14 notable matches in all competitions, as Londoners’ summer recruitment crusade begins to bear fruit.
Tonight’s opponents, on the other hand, have slipped in a very worried way in recent weeks.

When Chelsea’s initial line-up was announced before tonight’s start, the foreign Pulisic of the US was not the only time to do so. But it’s not the first time He wasn’t anywhere, he didn’t even earn a place at Frank Lampard’s bank:
