DBasia.news – Michy Batshuayi has returned to strengthen Chelsea after being loaned to Crystal Palace last season. However, there is no guarantee that Batshuayi would immediately appear as a starter.
Because until now, Batshuayi has not been trusted by Frank Lampard to receive playing time in the first two games of the Blues in the Premier League. Seeing Lampard who trusted Olivier Giroud and Tammy Abraham more to fill the attack line, has made himself claimed to be soon looking for a new club that is willing to provide regular playing minutes.
Even though he is rumored to be leaving permanently from Chelsea, Lampard has confirmed that Batshuayi is still in his plans and hopes that the player who has defended Valencia continues to stay with his team.
“I think it is a good thing for Michy to regain his fitness (playing with Chelsea U-23),” said Lampard as quoted by Sky Sports.
“As I said before that we need Michy. Because we need competition in the attack line with the three attackers we have,” he concluded.
Seeing Giroud and Abraham who still haven’t found their sharpness, it looks like it will be a golden opportunity for the Belgian player to be able to show his strength.
