Ruben Loftus-Cheek is currently recovering from a ruptured Achilles that ruled him out of the Europa League final.

Here's an update on his journey back to full fitness...

Samuel: The realistic one. I wish you all the best Frank. I have my doubts but this could be exciting playing good football #bbcfootball, external

Prince Joey Innocent: Once a blue, always a blue. Our top goalscorer and the best midfielder in the club's history has come home to lead us into a new era. I appeal to the board to give him more time to build the team #bbcfootball, external

And the new Chelsea boss has left the building!

Well, the news conference room, at least...

On N'Golo Kante: “We are starting pre-season tomorrow. Kante is one of the greatest midfield players in the world, one of the pleasures is I am able to work with players of his quality and my job is to get the best out of him in the team.”

Glen Carrick: Classy first press conference from Super Frank. Polite, calm and humble. All about @ChelseaFC, external not his glory! Top man for the top job #WelcomeHomeFrank, external#bbcfootball, external

David E: Not excited about Frank’s appointment cos the EPL is not a place for unproven managers, plus the transfer ban, our history of not being patient with managers and Eden’s departure, his legendary status could be damaged within his 1st season #bbcfootball, external

More from Lampard on how big the challenge is that he faces:

“Coming here 19 years ago I remember the radio was on people questioning whether I was worth £11m players.

“I don't want credit for my playing career.

“One of the benefits is I know the club. I understand what is needed of me.”

“Nobody has an easy road in football, there are always questions asked of you," Lampard said.

“I haven't spoken to any of my old managers and as it stands I don't plan to call any of them.”

On whether he is worried about his reputation being tarnished: "I am not naive. I understand fans want success. I don't see this as a risk, I am not fearful of the downsides."

On how it felt waking up this morning: “When I woke up this morning and it was official, it felt good, I'm not going to lie.

“But I have to get over that and get down to work tomorrow.”

On his backroom staff: "Jody Morris is coming with me as Assistant Head Coach. We have a really close relationship and he has a great link with the Academy here and he is a fantastic coach.

"Chris Jones was with me at Derby and he will come here. Joe Edwards will move up from working with the Under-23s and Eddie Newton will also be working with the first-team.

"It's a very Chelsea-orientated team but it is not an old boys' club.

"As a club, it's not just bringing in players who played for the club, but people who feel the club and have an incredible work ethic."

On squad depth: "There is a lot of competition at the top of the league. We have lost Eden Hazard, one of the best players in the world, but we have not been decimated and we still have a very strong squad.

On whether he would call it the biggest challenge of his career: "Yes I would. My playing career is done. You start again as a manager. I should be judged on what I do here, going forward."

Chelsea

On the club's expectations: "I have played here for many years and I know the standards. it's definitely to be competitive.

"We know about the transfer ban and that Manchester City and Liverpool pulled away last season.

"But my instinct is to be competitive and to start the season wanting to win."

"We have to start with an intention to win," Lampard said.

"If I sat here and didn’t say that, then I don’t think I should be here.

"Playing Champions League football is something that should drive us forward.

"I’m not going to start talking about league positions. Ask me that at the end of the year.”

On assurances from above: "I have not asked for patience. I am a realist and the last thing I want to do is ask for any favours.

"As a manager, you understand very quickly that you want to be successful.

"It's really important to develop young players and that will be one of my first jobs.

"I want players who whether they are 18 or 32 feel like Chelsea is their club.

"I'm not just talking about Mr Chelsea, John Terry, but Petr Cech and Didier Drogba, who came here and felt the club."

On losing Eden Hazard: ”From the outside, it seemed like something that was really imp to Eden personally and he left on a very good note. I, as a Chelsea fan, felt like he gave this club such pleasure and we are thankful that he was here.

“It’s not one to dwell on and we wish him well. You lose one great player of course, but what we have in the team is already a very strong squad.

“Our players won’t fill Eden’s boots, as he’s unique, but part of my job now is to develop the great young players we have here."

Chelsea

On returning to Stamford Bridge: "When I came back it was surreal. Now I don't want to dwell too much on emotions. We have a lot of work to do to prepare but it will be a special moment for that first game."

On his experience as a manager: "I thought about it a lot. In one year as a manager, a job like Chelsea doesn't come around very often.

"I don't want to say I am worried about this or that. But in my playing career I played under a lot of managers and that stands me in good stead.

"People will question my experience, but I am ready for that. What will define me is my work ethic and what I put into it to try to bring success."

On it being his dream job: "Of course, everyone know my links to the club.

"Everyone knows how I feel. I don’t have to give it a name or a title. I love this club.”
