Lampard has sent message to Chelsea stars they could be axed - CrouchThe Frenchman is unhappy at his lack of game time under Lampard in a year when he is bidding to win a spot in his country’s Euro 2020 squad. Giroud played in all of France’s seven matches as they won the World Cup in 2018 but his sparse minutes for Chelsea this term may damage his hopes of featuring in the multi-country tournament this summer. The veteran frontman has not played since the end of November with Tammy Abraham the undisputed starting striker for the Blues this term.
