Frank Lampard is ready to sell Tiemoue Bakayoko and Danny Drinkwater after evaluating each Chelsea player during the club's pre-season tour.
Lampard, a blues legend, returned to Stamford Bridge as a manager earlier this month after Maurizio Sarri came to Juventus, Serie A champion.
After scoring all three results in his first three preseason games, Lampard's Chelsea secured an encouraging 2-1 win against Barcelona on Tuesday.
After spending the last two weeks in Japan, Chelsea returned to Europe this weekend and will play three more pre-season matches before starting his 2019/20 campaign against rival Premier League Manchester United on August 11 .

Lampard is busy evaluating his team since taking office as a manager and is ready to unload Bakayoko and Drinkwater despite the club transfer ban.
According to the Daily Mail, Lampard considers the £ 75 million duo as surplus to needs and will not prevent them from leaving before the summer transfer window closes.
Drinkwater, who played in the outstanding Premier League title at Leicester City three seasons ago, only made 23 appearances for Chelsea.
Bakayoko also suffered a frustrating pbad to Stamford Bridge and was loaned last season to AC Milan after failing to defeat his former boss Sarri.
Everton is tied to a summer move for Bakayoko. Idrissa Gueye should sign for PSG in the coming days.
Under Sarri, Chelsea finished third in the Premier League last season and won the Europa League by beating his London rival Arsenal in the final in Baku.
Commenting on Chelsea's plans for the new season, Lampard said, "I believe in the team and there are more to come, because we have a lot of young players. There may be an uprising.
'Now, can we win the league? It will be a big request. But we must leave with this state of mind. "
