Chelsea manager Frank Lampard will talk to his players about their behavior off the field.

The new season begins for the Blues amid the backdrop of many first team players having to quarantine due to COVID-19 protocols.

There is also the matter of Manchester United's Mason Greenwood and Manchester City's Phil Foden being sent home from England duty for breaching coronavirus rules.

"I have addressed it with the players already," Lampard said of the issue during a pre-match press conference.

"I think it is something we all need addressing; this is a strange time in everybody's life over the last months.

"We have seen that with how the government have spoken in some of the wording and messaging that has come out in the last week and I think it is important that we all have a little check as it is human nature slightly to relax as the situation changes.

"We will all do our best on that front. We all know the situation we are in, the procedures and protocols and we will try and adhere to them as much as we can considering a physical-contact team sport that we are doing."
