'Barkley showed a lack of professionalism' - Lampard unhappy at Chelsea midfielder after topless nightclub photos

Chelsea manager Frank Lampard has called on Ross Barkley to prove he is a professional and show his worth on the pitch after another compromising video appeared starring the former Everton midfielder.

Barkley had previously hit the headlines for the wrong reasons in September when footage of the player arguing with a taxi driver was released.

The brawl, apparently sparked over a spilled packet of chips, ended with the 25-year-old being escorted to an ATM by police officers, and earned him a scolding from Lampard.

Now Lampard has once more been called upon to comment on the England international's behaviour after Barkley was filmed dancing topless in a nightclub in Dubai, where he was given permission to spend the November international break on leave as he looks to recover from injury.
