“I don’t feel like it’s my place to tell them what to decide, I never will do with a player because I think there’s so much more that’s important for them individually and for their families to decide on where they want to play their football internationally, so I wouldn’t feel that right to step into that one, unless they ask my opinion on the footballing sense.
Speaking on their brilliant start to the season, Lampard praised the duo but said there’s still a lot of room for improvement.
Chelsea will hope to pick up their first three points in the champions league when they take on Les Douges on Wednesday night.
