A chain of rapidly-moving events this week has resulted in Frank Lampard returning to Chelsea.

However, the former Arsenal talisman could be handed an unlikely reprieve by the Blues’ new caretaker manager, Frank Lampard. Aubameyang has made just five first-team appearances since the turn of the year and was once again excluded from the Chelsea squad by first-team coach Bruno Saltor, who took charge of Tuesday night’s drab 0-0 draw with Liverpool after Graham Potter was sacked. And while few…
“Our two-year-old son, Charles, has loved watching trucks, cars, and all types of vehicles since he could sit up and look around. Fire trucks, ambulances, construction trucks, and garbage trucks — if it had a wheel, Charles was a fan. Because of his deep love for anything with wheels, I always made it a point to take him outside to watch the garbage and recycle trucks drive up and down our little cul-de-sac. Charles loved watching the workers, and would get so excited when the drivers would beep the horn at him as they went by. He would wave…
