Ahead of the closing of the transfer market, Lampard 'expelled' 2 Chelsea stars

Ahead of the closing of the 2020 summer transfer market which falls on October 5, Frank Lampard sent off two Chelsea stars, Antonio Rudiger and Callum Hudson-Odoi.

Chelsea is going on a big shopping spree this summer 2020. It is recorded that the Blues have become the team that has poured the most money in this edition of the transfer market. Total funds that have been disbursed are more than 200 million pounds (Rp3.8 trillion).

So far, six players have been signed, five of which are included in Chelsea's scheme for the 2020/21 season. These five players were brought in to fill the front, middle and back lines.

The arrival of these new players also took victims, namely Rudiger and Hudson-Odoi. The reason is, both of them began to be marginalized because of the many new players who came or because of Lampard's own tactics. As a result, both have the potential to be released in the summer of 2020.

Antonio Rudiger is said to be released following Frank Lampard's decision not to bring him into the squad when Chelsea host Liverpool. The coach's decision made him think of a way to get out of Stamford Bridge

Even with Callum Hudson-Odoi who felt marginalized even though he was the winger available in the Chelsea vs Liverpool match. Surprisingly, Lampard chose Mason Mount, who is actually a midfielder to become a winger in this hot match.

The desire of the two players to get guaranteed playing minutes this season was also approved by Lampard. Quoted from the page of The Guardian, this 42-year-old coach opens the possibility of releasing the two stars and allows them to leave Chelsea.

“My priority is to make sure I keep the strongest squad I can after talking to the players. I will try to close the transfer market with a squad that I feel is competitive, "said Lampard.

"There are decisions I have to make, made by the club and made by the players themselves. I had the idea of ​​making this squad competitive but not with a lot of players and (making) the players feel like they didn't get the minutes they wanted, "he concluded.

Rudiger intends to leave because he needs playing minutes to keep his hopes up for the German national team squad for the Euro competition. So far, Chelsea have five central defenders whose chances of appearing are believed to be running low.

Meanwhile, Callum Hudson-Odoi wants to get enough playing time after feeling that he was marginalized and treated unfairly following Frank Lampard's decision not to play even though he was the only Chelsea winger who was fit in the first two matches of the 2020/21 Premier League.
