Frank Lampard has backed Chelsea’s strikers to deliver in front of goal despite so far drawing a Premier League blank.

Olivier Giroud found the net in Chelsea’s European Super Cup loss to Liverpool in Istanbul, but the Blues’ frontmen have failed to hit the net in two league matches.

“Kante has got an injury he has carried all week, so we’ll assess that over the next 24 hours,” said Lampard.

“Rudiger’s not fit yet, hopefully for next week. That’s the only changes from where we were last week.”

Asked if Pedro had an injury issue after missing training earlier in the week, Lampard said: “That was because we had, as we know, a busy week and Pedro contributed a lot physically, he had a couple of small aches.

“He’s trained the last two days.”
