Frank Lampard provides Thiago Silva and Kepa Arrizabalaga fitness updates ahead of Burnley clash
Oct 30, 2020
Frank Lampard has provided a positive update on the fitness of Thiago Silva and Kepa Arrizabalaga but says many members of Chelsea ’s squad are suffering with tiredness from a gruelling run of games ahead of their Premier League clash with Burnley.
Both Silva and Kepa stayed at home as the Blues bagged their first three points of the Champions League campaign with a comprehensive 4-0 victory away to Group E rivals Krasnodar on Wednesday night.
Summer signing Silva impressed in Chelsea’s goalless draw with Manchester United last weekend but Lampard decided to rest the 36-year-old centre-back and Antonio Rudiger made his first appearance of the season alongside Kurt Zouma in Russia.
Kepa, meanwhile, has been struggling with a shoulder issue and has been absent from Chelsea’s last two matchday squads but the goalkeeper appears to be making significant strides with his recovery.
‘Thiago is fit. Taking him out of the trip to Russia was more of a matinance issue for him,’ Lampard said when asked about Chelsea ’s injury concerns at his pre-match press conference on Thursday.
‘Kepa is outside as I speak. He’s got some progression in his shoulder injury so we’re hopeful but we’ll see with that one.
‘In terms of the rest of the squad, we don’t have any clear injuries but we do have a bit of a tired group.
