Frank Lampard has challenged Ruben Loftus-Cheek to continue performing on loan at Fulham.
Loftus-Cheek was loaned out to Chelsea's west London neighbours on a season-long deal in October, but has drawn mixed reviews as he continues to work his way back to the impressive form he showed under Lampard's predecessor Maurizio Sarri before rupturing his left Achilles tendon in May 2019 against New England Revolution.
The injury, combined with the halt to football caused by the ongoing Covid-19 pandemic, meant that the 24-year-old did not play for the Blues again until June last year, when he featured for 55 minutes against Aston Villa before being replaced by Ross Barkley.
