Frank Lampard says it's his aim to get the squad showing a "passion" to play for Chelsea between now and the end of the season.

The club legend is back in charge for a second spell as manager in a caretaker role, following last weekend's sacking of Graham Potter.

The 44-year-old was previously in the role for 18 months in the job before being sacked in January 2021.

Co-controlling owners Todd Boehly and Behdad Eghbali said: "We are delighted to welcome Frank back to Stamford Bridge. Frank is a Premier League Hall of Famer and a legend at this club.
