Chelsea manager Frank Lampard says Ross Barkley was "naive" to go out before a Champions League game.

Barkley caused a stir on Sunday when he was filmed arguing with a taxi driver about chips being split in the back of his cab after a night out in Liverpool.

The incident came three days before Chelsea's clash with Lille and Lampard was disappointed with Barkley's judgement.

"He is travelling with the squad," said Lampard. "In terms of permission from Ross [to go out on Sunday], I don't expect to be asked for that.

"To address the issue, he hasn't breached a club code the lads were given a day off. He hasn't committed a crime, but I think he has been naive to be out before a Champions League game.

"He has admitted that. I like Ross, I have had no problem with him and he has admitted he made a mistake. I will take that at face value and move on."
