Frank Lampard spoke to the press ahead of Everton's FA Cup clash with Boreham Wood. Here are some key quotes....
On Vitaliy Mykolenko: "He will play tomorrow. That decision was made regardless of the outside situation. You have to be aware of the life decision for him in the moment. He's starting the game."
On Roman Abramovich: "I’m not at Chelsea any more, I had an amazing time at Chelsea. I had absolute support in my time as a player and as a manager whatever people think from the outside. I’ve got no comment on them now, I’m Everton manager and I don’t have enough knowledge to give anything more than that."
On Boreham Wood: "We treat them with the utmost respect which is why we'll prepare the same as any other game."
On Donny Van de Beek: "He's fine. He's been training this week."
Russia captain Artem Dzyuba has finally commented on the invasion of Ukraine
"I am against discrimination based on nationality. I am not ashamed of being Russian. I am proud that I am Russian. And I don't understand why sportsmen should suffer now."
He slammed those who criticised him for not commenting on the war: "To some of my colleagues, who sit on their asses in mansions in England and say mean things: we cannot be offended by this, we all understand! Peace and goodness to all!"
Change looks to be on its way at Stamford Bridge.
