Chelsea’s Frank Lampard who despite being 35 has been one of the Blues most important players over the past two seasons. Despite proving fitter than most of his a lot younger Premier League adversaries, the English international looks a bit unhappy with how the Premier League handles the season schedule.

Last year the Blues played a record 54 matches having to constantly rotate the first eleven in order to keep the players safe from injuries. According to ESPNFC, Lampard who has made 21 appearances up until now, believes the FA should consider the fact that several Premier League teams are also representing England in competitions like the Champions League and the Europa League. Obligating those teams to play in domestic competitions two or three days after a European performance can really affect the footballers from both a physical and a psychological point of view.

Fortunately for Chelsea fans, the Blues have a strong squad and several options of similar value which can at any time steal the show or win a game.

Lampard also spoke about Chelsea’s great run. Mourinho’s side have managed to leave Arsenal 4 points behind since December when the Gunners were on top of the Premier League. The Blues are now leaders and have a great chance of increasing the gap between them and the other three title contenders. March started off well for Chelsea after their 3-1 win against Fulham. If they manage to get through this month and emerge victorious in key matches like the ones against Arsenal and Tottenham, chances are they will claim the Premier League trophy this year.
