But there are also a number of young stars from the academy who help out during the summer.
SunSport is looking at seven players who should be defeated by Lampard before the new Premier League season.
DUJON STERLING
RIGHT-BACK played 40 times for Coventry City in League One last season.
He won two youth cups from the FA, two UEFA youth leagues and the under-18 Premier League title.
Sterling, 19, also helped England's U19 win the Euro 2017 and was named to the tournament team.
JAMIE CUMMING
GOALKEEPER signed a new contract in November after becoming the # 1 Joe Edwards between the sticks.
He was recognized after helping the Blues participate in the 2018 Youth League final in a heroic session when shooting a goal against Porto.
Cumming, 19, now hopes to become Chelsea's third-choice goaltender after Rob Green's departure earlier this month.
MARC GUEHI
CENTER-BACK was part of Maurizio Sarri's team for the last Premier League clash with Leicester.
He is considered a penalty specialist and helped the Blues win a quadruple last season.
Guehi, 18, was also captain of the under-17 England squad at the 2017 FIFA World Cup in India.
CONOR GALLAGHER
The CENTRAL midfielder overcame his heart problems to become one of the best hopes of the Chelsea Academy.
He was named player of the year last season.
Gallagher, 19, can also play on the wing and is sure to have a bright future at Stamford Bridge.
IKE UGBO
STRIKER has just signed a new contract after joining Chelsea in 2007.
He spent last season on loan at Scunthorpe.
Ugbo, 20, also took advantage of temporary stays in Barnsley and MK Dons.
Billy Gilmour
The CENTRAL midfielder dropped the Scottish Giants Rangers for Chelsea in 2017.
He has been crowned eight times for under-21s in his country.
Gilmour, 18, was also named "Revelation Tournament" in Toulon last year.
IAN MAATSEN
LEFT-BACK is the youngest player involved in Chelsea's pre-season tour.
He joined PSV Eindhoven last summer and played a key role in the race at the UEFA Youth League.
Maatsen, 17, also scored in the under-17 final when Dutch won the tournament for the second year in a row.
