Lampard on Gilmour: "Gilmour has had an operation on his knee this morning. He will be out for between three or four months, unfortunately. We are disappointed here and Billy is himself. I spoke to him at length, giving him support." #CFC

Lampard revealing his injury is much worse than first feared. Wishing him the best. Plenty of time to get fit and back at Chelsea. #CFC

Lampard on whether Chelsea are favourites for top-four: "No, it is easy to bring up momentum. I don't fully believe in it. I believe in each game as it comes. You are only as good as your next game." #CFC

Lampard on Abraham's contract: "I don't want to get into contract clauses, that could open me up, but there's plenty of time."

Lampard on Havertz: "That's not something I want to broach at this time. My focus is on the next game." #CFC

Lampard on top-4 expectation:"Even I didn't know where my expectation would be. A player like Eden would normally be replaced in some way, our destiny is in our own hands. I'm happy with where we are, I thought we could have done better at times, but we mustn't jump the gun" #CFC

Lampard on Wilder: "I saw his story from L1, the Championship and I have been up against his team. He is up for the conversation [for manager of the year in the Premier League]." #CFC #SHUCHE

Pretty sure this is accurate. Billy Gilmour played on for over 60 mins with that knee problem.
