According to the Daily Mail, new Chelsea manager Thomas Tuchel has expressed his willingness to make use of youth, following in the footsteps of Frank Lampard.
A number of Chelsea academy graduates stepped up to the first-team under Frank Lampard. With him now gone, there were concerns if they would see a decrease in playing time.
Tuchel, however, considers the likes of Mason Mount, Reece James and Tammy Abraham as key players. He will continue to make use of them as he looks to turn around the team’s fortunes.

Tuchel has a good record of developing youth. Players such as Ousmane Dembele, Julian Weigl and even Christian Pulisic all made their names under him at Borussia Dortmund. This augurs well for the talented youngsters we have at the Bridge.
It is not just the junior stars who stand to benefit. Tuchel has already informed the squad that every player will be given a chance to prove themselves. (h/t The Metro)
This will provide a ray of hope to sidelines stars such as Marcos Alonso who got into Lampard’s bad books.
Chelsea will also back Tuchel in the summer transfer market. Among those in their sights is Dortmund ace Erling Haaland.
As a much more experienced manager, Tuchel is expected to handle his squad better than Lampard. A master tactician, the German is an avid student of the game and can be a handful to go up against. After all, he is not nicknamed ‘The Professor’ for nothing.
