Chelsea’s Frank Lampard criticises Didier Deschamps over N’Golo Kante injury

Frank Leboeuf feels Olivier Giroud may need to leave Chelsea in order to secure regular first team action.

Gregg Berhalter explains why he played Christian Pulisic in multiple positions in the USMNT’s win vs. Cuba.

ESPN FC’s Stewart Robson says there’s only one way for Christian Pulisic to get extended minutes.
Frank Lampard has said that France’s handling of N’Golo Kante’s groin injury during the international break was “not a laughing matter.”
Kante suffered an injury while warming up ahead of France’s Euro 2020 qualifier against Iceland last Friday, a game his nation went on to win 1-0, and the midfielder then sat on the bench during France’s 1-1 draw with Turkey on Monday. The injury has ruled the 28-year-old out of his club’s Premier League match against Newcastle this Saturday.

In Kante’s only season with the club, Leicester finished with 81 points, winning the most improbable championship in the history of modern sports.

The FC crew praise Liverpool’s backup goalkeeper Adrian for his starring role in the Red’s penalty shootout victory over Chelsea.

A penalty-shootout defeat against Liverpool (2-2 a.e.t) will be a tough one to take, but Frank Lampard can take plenty of encouragement from his side’s display in the UEFA Super Cup in Istanbul. After Sunday’s 4-0 season-opening to Man United, this was a much-improved display in nearly every way.
