Frank Lampard is hopeful over Mason Mount’s injury following Chelsea’s victory over Norwich City on Saturday.

Lampard secured his first win as Chelsea manager as his side sealed a 3-2 victory at Carrow Road.

Tammy Abraham scored twice while Mount scored his second goal of the season with an excellent finish in the first half.

But Mount was forced off in the final stages of the game with a calf injury.


Chelsea host Sheffield United at Stamford Bridge next Saturday and Lampard is confident that Mount’s calf problem will ease in the build-up to the game next week.

‘Mason took a knock to his calf, so that is better than a strain, obviously,’ said Lampard.



‘So hopefully in a couple of days it will settle down, so hopefully that is good news. We will assess it.’

Lampard also praised Mount after he changed his position against Norwich following Pedro’s injury in the warm-up.

‘Mason is a continuation of what he is doing,’ said Lampard.

‘I had to move him out to the left just before the game because of the Pedro injury but he took it on board, he is intelligent and he can do different roles.

‘You can see the reaction of the fans. These are two young men who are desperate to play for this club.

‘They have to earn it and I am delighted for them both.’
