Football: Hauled off at half-time but Lampard backs his youngsters to be 'top players'

Mason Mount, Reece James and Billy Gilmour were replaced at half-time, but Lampard said it was circumstantial. Mount: "I could've made different changes [at half-time] as well. In Mason Mount's situation, he played two games in a week and gave a lot of input against Manchester City for 90 minutes. Reece James hasn't played in a long time since going into lockdown and Billy [Gilmour] is the same, so there are contributing factors around it. They are going to be top players, they will have top careers in football, because of the players they are, so whether you can call it a learning experience, I didn't do that. It was just the way I saw the game. They are all good lads, they train well and I've never had a problem with them at all, so I've got no worries. I think it was just the circumstances today."
