Chelsea are well set up to continue their long-term growth when football returns due to the decisions taken to appoint Frank Lampard as manager and to promote youth from within, according to former defender Paul Elliott.
The Blues find themselves in fourth place in the Premier League amid a stoppage in the season due to an outbreak of Covid-19 which has halted play across most of the world of football.
Lampard's side still have a chance of glory in the FA Cup and made the last 16 of the Champions League but a 3-0 home defeat in the first leg to Bayern Munich which means they are likely to be knocked out of Europe, whenever the season resumes.
