A loaned player is not allowed to play against his parent club.
“Unless”
A agreement has been made beforehand with the parent club. This agreement is a definite requisite for Lampard when his team will be up against the Blues in the fourth round of EFL after causing an upset at Old Trafford.
Two of the stars against United Mason Mount and Fikayo Tomori paid a prime role in their win. Both are in loan from Chelsea and Lampard’s player of A team.
The former Chelsea midfielder will need to have them in his team if he even wants to have a sniff of hope to win the game. Lampard knows this fact and has requested Cheslea to let him play the two of loanees.
He stated,” It is a conversation to be had and I think it is Chelsea-led because they are their players.”
He further added,” I am pretty sure it will be Chelsea’s decision. I think everyone knows what my decision would be, so it will be up to them.”
To lose against their own players is something Chelsea won’t want but if they want a slight head to head experience while playing they’ll have to give Derby a green light.
