Frank Lampark sent a heartfelt message to Enzo Maresca as he player he must start in Chelsea’s next PL game

Frank Lampard has urged Enzo Maresca to start Pedro Neto in Chelsea’s next Premier League match following the winger’s impressive performance against Liverpool. Although Chelsea fell 2-1 in a closely contested game at Anfield, there were notable positives, including strong performances from Reece James and Romeo Lavia.

Neto, who replaced Jadon Sancho at half-time, made an immediate impact with his direct play and attacking threat, especially after being moved to the left following Christopher Nkunku’s introduction. Despite a slow start since his £51.4 million summer transfer from Wolves, this performance could mark a turning point for the Portuguese winger.

Lampard believes Neto’s energy and creativity have earned him a starting spot in the next match. With Chelsea set to face Panathinaikos in the Conference League, Neto is likely to feature, giving him another opportunity to stake his claim for more regular Premier League starts.
