Frank Lampard has responded to RB Salzburg boss Jesse Marsch's claims that the Chelsea manager told him he did not rate Christian Pulisic 'because he was American'.
Marsch made the claim after a chat with Lampard during pre-season a year ago, adding the perception of American players is they are technically and tactically 'not very aware'.
Responding to that, Lampard said: 'I did read the comments and was surprised Jesse had managed to read my mind as well as he thought he did. He's recounted the conversation wrong.
'It was a game against Salzburg where we played and Christian scored two goals in pre-season.
