(Image): Ethan Ampadu’s physical changes put him in the mix for Frank Lampard

Chelsea are back in training, meaning there are photos coming out which allow us to make some all-too-early conclusions about the season to come.

One thing that a few social media users noticed was a picture of Ethan Ampadu standing alongside Olivier Giroud and Ruben Loftus-Cheek, the two tallest players in the squad.

Ampadu doesn’t look out of place at all, in fact even without his hair he’s at most an inch or two off the others.

That shows how he’s grown in the last year, while on loan at RB Leipzig.

So while he didn’t get much playing time, he’s at least developed in one important regard when it comes to competing for a centre-back/central-midfield spot.
