Chelsea boss Frank Lampard insists his decision to leave Antonio Rudiger out of his squad for the defeat to Liverpool was nothing to do with the German’s long-term future at the club.

Rudiger was an unused substitute in Chelsea’s 3-1 win against Brighton last weekend and he was left out of Sunday’s 2-0 defeat to the Premier League champions at Stamford Bridge.

That decision sparked speculation over the German’s future at the club, particularly following the arrival of Thiago Silva on a free transfer from Paris Saint-Germain.

However, Lampard insists it was simply a case of ensuring he had a balanced bench and says people shouldn’t read too much into Rudiger’s absence.

‘On Rudiger, I’ve got five centre-backs at the club. I can’t pick a squad that has three of them on the bench,’ said Lampard.

‘That’s the way it is, I have to pick the squad via training and situations and the opponents and that was a selection one today.’

Rudiger could go straight into Chelsea’s starting XI next week as Andreas Christensen will miss the next three matches through suspension.

The Dane was sent off on the cusp of half-time after taking down Sadio Mane, who was put through on ball following a sensational pass from Jordan Henderson.

Lampard hopes to have Ben Chilwell and Thiago Silva fit in the next fortnight.
