Chelsea boss Frank Lampard says there'll no selection gifts for young players in the final games of the season.
Lewis Hall started in Saturday's 2-2 draw with Nottingham Forest.
"They may be looked at in the next few games. Of course, we have to try and get results for ourselves so I have to think about that, and also putting out a strong team," Lampard said.
"It all comes back to how people train through the week and what they show you. I don't think you hold your head up among the squad if people are not training to make you put them in the team.
"When you put players in, it is not a gift. Players have to earn that. If they do that and show it, like Lewis Hall who has done well, he gets his place. With big numbers in the squad, the younger players have to compete to get their chance.
"We will see though. They will get opportunities."
