Chelsea boss Frank Lampard has praised Jorginho for his cameo in last night's defeat of Crystal Palace.

Since the restart, Jorginho has been out of favour and there has been talk he could leave Stamford Bridge to link up with former Chelsea boss Maurizio Sarri at Juventus.

Lampard said: “He came on and showed personality, and we were lacking personality at that point. He got on the ball, moved it about and then you have control and you can force them back. The reason I played Billy does not mean anything for the future of Jorginho.

“We saw the impact Jorginho had in calming the team down and making passes. I know he can give us that and he will continue to give us that."
