Chelsea manager Frank Lampard has hit back at Jose Mourinho, after he criticised Lampard's team selection in their 4-nil Premier League defeat to Man United.

Mourinho, who was working as a TV pundit, questioned why Lampard started the game with younsters like Mason Mount and Tammy Abraham, while leaving N'Golo Kante and Willian on the bench. 

Lampard says several of his players are nursing knocks, and he cannot simply drag people out of the treatment room.

Chelsea's next match, will be against Liverpool in the UEFA Super Cup in Istanbul on Thursday.
