Frank must prove he’s worth keeping

Rafael Benitez has told Frank Lampard it was up to him to prove Chelsea wrong over their decision not to offer him a new contract.

England midfielder Lampard last week appeared resigned to leaving Stamford Bridge when his current deal expires at the end of the season.

But the 34-year-old still has it within his power to make himself indispensable to the club where he has become a legend during nearly 12 glorious years.
