Lampard in awe of Silva’s Chelsea impact as he looks to keep ‘incredible’ Kante fit
The Blues boss has praised his Brazilian defender after continuing his strong start to life at Stamford Bridge
Chelsea manager Frank Lampard has singled out Thiago Silva for his “big impact” since arriving at the club.
The veteran defender scored his first goal for the Blues on Saturday as they came from behind to defeat Sheffield United 4-1 in the Premier League.
Despite a shaky debut, Silva has since impressed in Chelsea’s defence with Lampard’s side conceding just once across their past six matches in all competitions.
