FRANK LAMPARD has given an injury update on Billy Gilmour after his knee surgery.
The 19-year-old former Rangers midfielder has enjoyed a fine breakthrough campaign at Stamford Bridge, but will not feature again this term.
The Scotland younster limped off against Crystal Palace last week and has undergone surgery since in a bid to get him back on the pitch as soon as possible.
And Stamford Bridge boss Lampard has told how Gilmour's surgery was a success.
He said: "With Billy it did go well.
"He was in at the training ground on Sunday on his crutches. So it went as well as it possibly could and now he’s going to keep his feet up.
"His mum’s coming down to help him, probably cook and clean and all those things. I’m sure his mum and dad will be there to do that. Like I said when he got injured, I’m confident with Billy he’ll do everything right and let’s hope that he comes back as soon as possible."
Why are you making commenting on The National only available to subscribers?
We know there are thousands of National readers who want to debate, argue and go back and forth in the comments section of our stories. We’ve got the most informed readers in Scotland, asking each other the big questions about the future of our country.
Unfortunately, though, these important debates are being spoiled by a vocal minority of trolls who aren’t really interested in the issues, try to derail the conversations, register under fake names, and post vile abuse.
So that’s why we’ve decided to make the ability to comment only available to our paying subscribers. That way, all the trolls who post abuse on our website will have to pay if they want to join the debate – and risk a permanent ban from the account that they subscribe with.
The conversation will go back to what it should be about – people who care passionately about the issues, but disagree constructively on what we should do about them. Let’s get that debate started!
