Frank Lampard’s return started with a loss for Chelsea as his first game back in charge ended in a 1-0 defeat at Wolves on Saturday.
But the ex-Chelsea midfielder, who was dismissed by the club’s former owner Roman Abramovich in January 2021, could not provide an immediate lift for the Blues.
Chelsea, on their third manager this season following Potter’s exit and Thomas Tuchel’s sacking in September, remain 11th after a fourth consecutive game without a win.
