“We have confidence in ourselves, but it’s a tough match, Ajax’s new threats as he prepares to face last season’s Champions League semi-finalists. I watched them last year and I know their team has slightly changed. I’m aware of the new threats they have for us. They’ve won their two Champions League games influentially.” said Lampard.

N’Golo Kante and Midfielders Ross Barkley have not travelled for the match in Amsterdam. Barkley suffered an ankle injury in Saturday’s Premier League win over Newcastle while N’Golo Kante sustained a groin injury while on international duty. Fellow Centre-back Antonio Rudiger and Andreas Christensen are also out.

“Ross Barkley will hopefully be fit to train by Thursday,” said Lampard.

Antonio Rudiger featured in the squad’s last session before leaving for Amsterdam on Tuesday as the Germany defender continues his recovery from a groin problem that has restricted him to just 45 minutes this season. Andreas Christensen is also expected to be out for around two weeks after the defender sustained a hamstring injury playing for Denmark.
