LONDON
Chelsea manager Frank Lampard believes the Blues can be proud of their response to the coronavirus crisis. The London club quickly offered the use of a hotel at their Stamford Bridge stadium to health workers once Premier League matches were sus-pended last month and have promised to match all donations made to domestic abuse charity Refuge during a six-week fundraising campaign. Unlike a number of other Premier League clubs who have attracted criticism for using the UK government’s furlough scheme to pay non-playing staff, Chelsea have so far decided against using public money. “I’m very proud to be the manager of this club with the way Chelsea have handled it,” Lam-pard told Sky Sports.—AFP
