Frank Lampard has admitted Fikayo Tomori could leave the club on loan this month in search of regular game time.

Speaking following the 4-0 win against Morecambe, he said: “Situation with Fikayo is open about the moment.

“There is a possibility he could be going on loan to get games somewhere else.

“So that would have to be the solution for him and the club. That was part of my thinking of not starting him today.”
