Chelsea boss Frank Lampard has defended Andreas Christensen after his role in their 1-1 draw with Aston Villa.
Lampard spoke of the Dane ahead of tomorrow's FA Cup tie with Morecambe,
"I am not going to talk about the starting line-up for Morecambe but Reece James is out of the game although he will be training with us tomorrow, but the game comes too early," the boss reported.
"The same as Andreas Christensen and N'Golo Kante, who is out also with a minor hamstring injury so he misses this game and he is suspended for Fulham next Friday anyway. So we will get him right."
Christensen's problem stems from a collision with Jack Grealish which left him down in the build-up to Aston Villa's equaliser in the 1-1 draw at Stamford Bridge on 28 December.
"The injury was absolutely from that moment in the Villa game and there was probably a typical modern-day reaction where Andreas took stick for it, but he is out injured," pointed out Lampard.
"The injury isn't too bad which is good news so he will be back training with us tomorrow."
