The Blues had the final say over whether their opponents could play two of their players in the Carabao Cup due to rules in the loan system
Chelsea have granted Frank Lampard the chance to play with his loanees Mason Mount and Fikayo Tomori on Wednesday, but Gianfranco Zola denies that his club did it just to help out the club legend.
Lampard is Chelsea's all-time top goalscorer with 211 goals, one of the club's most highly decorated players, and he is now managing Derby County, who drew Chelsea after knocking out Manchester United in the last round of the Carabao Cup.
